  • Modelling the Relationship Between Defence Burden
    MODELLING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEFENCE BURDEN AND ECONOMIC GROWTH FOR FIJI ISLANDS By Baljeet Singh A thesis submitted in the partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Masters of Arts in Economics School of Economics Faculty of Business and Economics The University of the South Pacific Suva, Fiji. 2008 © Baljeet Singh, 2008. All rights reserved. i ii Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between defense burden and economic growth for Fiji. This relationship is modeled within a multivariate framework by including labour force and capital stock in the model. It uses the recently developed bounds testing approach to cointegration and find that there is a long run relationship among the variables when GDP is the endogenous variable. Normalizing on GDP and using two different estimators, it is found that in the long run defense burden have a negative impact while both labour force and capital stock have positive impact on GDP. Finally using Granger causality test, finds evidence of positive impact of labour force in the short run, while capital stock and defense burden do not have any significant impact in the short run. The finding is consistent with Classical school of thoughts, leading to derive some policy implication. iii Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Biman Chand Prasad, Dean of Faculty of Business and Economics, University of the South Pacific for his continued guidance throughout this research, and for allowing me consultation time as when needed, despite their busy schedules. My sincere gratitude to him for providing me with relevant reading materials and for their never-ending patience.

  • FIJI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fiji Is A
    FIJI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fiji is a republic under a military-led government since armed forces commander Commodore Josaia Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama overthrew the elected government in a bloodless coup in 2006. In 2009 the interim government headed by Prime Minister Bainimarama abrogated the constitution, imposed a state of emergency, and continued its rule by decree, a situation that remained at year’s end. During the year the country had no constitution or parliament. Security forces did not report to civilian authorities. The leading human rights problems during the year included the government’s continued denial of citizens’ right to change their government peacefully; the government’s targeting of opponents and human rights and labor activists for harassment, arbitrary arrest, and abuse; and continued enforcement of the wide- ranging Public Emergency Regulations (PER) issued in 2009. The PER imposed a state of emergency that remained in force at year’s end, giving the military and police power to arrest and detain persons without a warrant and limiting freedoms of speech and press, assembly, association, and movement. The PER also give military and police authority to use whatever force they deem necessary to enforce PER provisions, resulting in impunity for abuses. Freedom of the press was further restricted by a 2010 media decree. By year’s end the government had begun taking steps to ease enforcement of the PER and the media decree. The Essential National Industries Decree implemented in September severely restricts trade union and collective bargaining rights for workers in designated industries and corporations deemed essential to the national economy.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. CIVIL DISORDER AND INSECURITY WITHIN FIJI: AN ANALYSIS OF CAUSES, EFFECTS, AND AN ARGUMENT FOR FUTURE NEW ZEALAND STRATEGIC POLICY A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Defence and Strategic Studies at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand David John Neal 2012 1 ABSTRACT The thesis provides an analysis of the causes and effects of civil disorder and internal insecurity within Fiji. By understanding these influences, and New Zealand’s desired strategic endgame in regards to the future of Fiji, an argument will be provided for strategic policy that New Zealand may pursue in regards to future interface with Fiji. While each particular coup and mutiny that has occurred within Fiji in recent history has been widely documented, a comprehensive analysis of the causes of each incident has not. The thesis examines the importance of Fiji to New Zealand (and Australia), and leads the reader through an analysis of race relations, history and culture as a means to expose some of the contributing factors regarding civil disorder and insecurity in Fiji. The thesis then progresses to examine the series of coups and mutiny that have occurred between the period of 1987 and 2006, prior to analyzing possible risks and consequences that may result from the current political situation in Fiji.
