Tis was His Excellency’s second term following his initial appointment in 2009. Te Swearing-In Ceremony was facilitated on 12 November by the Chief Justice the Honourable Anthony Gates in the presence of the Prime Minister, Honourable Rear Admiral (Ret’d) Voreqe Bainimarama, Cabinet Ministers and representatives of the public and private sectors, the diplomatic community, religious and community leaders and Head Prefects of various secondary schools. • Te Ofce of the President supported His Excellency’s active programme of ceremonial and community engagements throughout the year. His Excellency the President attended to over 180 events including delivering 70 speeches. Chapter 4 provides a breakdown of His Excellency’s engagements. • Te Ofcial Secretary Mr. Joeli Rokovada retired from Government service in June 2012. Mr Rokovada served in Government for more than a decade and held the position of Ofcial Secretary for almost four years. Prior to this appointment, he was the Commissioner Western Division. He was also the Director for the National Disaster Management Ofce. During his tenure as Ofcial Secretary, Mr. Rokovada oversaw, among other outputs, the production of the Ofce of the President’s Protocol Manual which now serves as an invaluable guide to the State ceremonial and ofcial functions administered by the President. • Te change of the Ofcial Secretary in June 2012 provided the opportunity for the Ofce to conduct a situational analysis of its operations to identify strategic areas to strengthen its services to the Head of State through the alignment of services to the principle legislations and guiding documents including the Executive Authority of Fiji Decree 2009; the People’s Charter for Change, Peace and Progress; the Strategic Framework for Change; and the Roadmap to Democracy and Sustainable Socio-Economic Development, among others. Following the analysis, the Ofce implemented the frst phase of its organizational reform against the backdrop of Government’s civil service reforms. • From the second half of 2012, greater emphasis was placed on strengthening the working relationship between the Ofce of the President and the Ofce of the Prime Minister. Although this relationship existed before, the renewed eforts in 2012 were in cognizance of the country’s socio-political history and the perceived need to improve the coordination of the President’s national and international programmes that had an impact on Fiji’s nation-building eforts lead by the Government-of-the-day. Tis was operationalized through the participation of the Ofcial Secretary in the senior management meetings convened by the Permanent Secretary in the Ofce of the Prime Minister. Consultations with the Hon. Prime Minister on issues of national and international signifcance became more consistent. OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT 4 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 CHAPTER 1 OFFICE OVERVIEW • At the operational level, the Ofce of the President is headed by the Ofcial Secretary who is responsible for coordinating all forms of direct support for the President to enable the President to fulfll all his roles and responsibilities as defned in the Nation’s guide documents.

Te Security Division was under the charge of the President’s Aide-de-Camp while all the other divisions reported to the Ofcial Secretary. Specifcally, the responsibilities of the four division were as follows: • Executive Division: provided advice on Government’s policy positions on issues of national and international signifcance; provided direct professional support to the President by planning, organizing and managing all of the President’s national and international engagements; coordinated and drafed the President’s speeches and statements; coordinated and drafed the President’s correspondences. • Operations Division: Tis division included the Domestic Services Section, which provided housekeeping, cooking and laundry services.

Te underlying and ultimate philosophy is to build the Ofce’s capacity to the optimum level so that it could assist Fiji’s Head of State to successfully fulfll all his obligations to the nation. • A development of national interest in 2013 will involve His Excellency the President’s assent to Fiji’s new Constitution in accordance with Government’s commitment as articulated in the Roadmap to Democracy and Sustainable Socio-Economic Development. • Te Ofce will seek to reactivate the Honours and Awards programme to ensure continuous recognition of members of the public for their community services and especially their contributions towards nation building. • Te organizational reform in-line with Government’s overarching civil service reform agenda will continue to underpin the management of the Ofce.

  • From Universalist Rhetoric to Pacific Realities Seen Through a Fijian Microscope*

    Gaming for ‘Good Governance’ and the Democratic Ideal: From Universalist Rhetoric to Pacific Realities Seen Through a Fijian Microscope* JACKSON NYAMUYA MAOGOTO** & JAMES DUNCAN STRATFORD*** The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew. Abraham Lincoln, Message To Congress, 1 December 1862 Abstract At the start of the 21st century, the international community appears open, cosmopolitan, accommodating and neutral with sovereignty seen as a set of powers and competencies that can be enjoyed by all States regardless of their particular cultural identities. However, it should not be forgotten that sovereignty is a flexible instrument that readily lends itself to the powerful imperatives of the civilizing mission, in part because through that mission, sovereignty extends and expands its reach and scope. This article canvasses the international rubric and dynamic that informs the democracy and good governance crusade before moving the discussion to a regional setting targeting Pacific Island Countries with Fiji as a case study. It seeks to argue that democratic experimentalism, not the so- called ‘McDonaldisation’ (globalisation as homogenisation) of the world, is important. This is based on the premise that ‘McDonaldisation’ minimises the complex way in which the local interacts with the international. The efficacy of democratic experimentalism is that it acknowledges that rights are not based on first principles, but that, they are inevitably socially constructed and historically contingent, and thus closely connected with both individual and group identity. * This article was made possible by a research grant from the Australian National Commission for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (‘UNESCO’).
