Description
Since independence in 1970, Fiji had endured four coups and four constitutions. Each of the four constitutions prescribed different electoral systems. After eight years of military rule by 2006 coup leader Frank Bainimarama, the long awaited 2014 election was the first under a radically new Constitution, which introduced a new electoral system based on proportional representation and a single constituency. The election was won by Bainimarama's FijiFirst Party, who subsequently embarked on a process of shifting the political configuration of Fijian politics from inter-ethnic to trans-ethnic mobilisation. The People Have Spoken provides a unique collection of articles about the 2014 election in Fiji. It captures the important issues that have plagued Fiji over the years including ethnic relations, power politics, coups, ethno-nationalism, youth and media censorship, to name a few. It provides an excellent mixture of contributors (both Fijian and non-Fijian) including academics, a political party representative, a member of the Election Commission and a member of the international monitoring group.
