The implementation of the Fiji Islands Constitution (original) (raw)

This chapter examines the implementation of the 1997 Constitution of Fiji Islands, advocating for a broad understanding that encompasses not just legal enactments but the fulfillment of constitutional objectives. It highlights the paradox of the Constitution's affirmation of liberalism alongside constraints imposed by Fiji's ethnic diversity. The chapter discusses the establishment of institutions, the necessity of civic engagement, and the societal attitudes required for constitutional success, ultimately emphasizing that without community support, the goals of the Constitution may not be realized.
