PASSAGE OF CHANGE: LAW, SOCIETY & GOVERNANCE IN THE PACIFIC
EDITORS: ANITA JOWITT & TESS NEWTON CAIN
PUBLISHED BY PANDANUS BOOKS (ANU) 2003
ISBN:1-7406-025-5
Numerous issues face Pacific states trying to find their way in the early 21st century. Countries are striving to secure the benefits of modernisation. Governance, law and order are needed to reach such a goal, but development cannot be at the price of culture or the environment. The question of how to develop and maintain sound legal systems and legal rules whilst maintaining the unique cultural heritages within the Pacific is a challenge with no easy answer.
This interdisciplinary collection locates issues of law and governance within the particular socio-political context of the Pacific island region, presenting sociological, anthropological and political insights alongside jurisprudential analysis. Key issue including corruption, the role of customary law in modern legal systems, the place of human rights in the Pacific, environmental issues and the structure of the state are explored from a variety of perspectives.
All students, scholars, legal practitioners and policy makers who have concerns about, or an interest in, modernisation, law and governance in the Pacific island region will find this book an invaluable resource.
Themes: The context of change; Corruption; Customary law; Human rights; Natural resource issues; Rebuilding nation states
Contributors: Susan Bothmann, Laurence Cordonnery, Sinclair Dinnen, Ian Fraser, Graham Hassall, Edward Hill, Robert Hughes, Owen Jessep, Anita Jowitt, Vijay Naidu, Anthony Regan, Tess Newton Cain, Jean Zorn.

Fiji Product Directory
"The 1998 Fiji Product Directory is a comprehensive guide to trading with Fiji companies. The purpose of the directory is to provide companies interested in doing business with up-to-date information on the quality and range of products available.
The directory is intended as an aid to the prospective importer for "Made in Fiji" products. With Fiji strategically located in the South Pacific in an increasingly open economy and pro-business environment, we are destined to become a major trading hub of the region. There is, therefore, a great opportunity for importers in the rim countries to develop trading relations with Fiji".
