Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between culture and the market economies amidst the challenges posed by globalisation. The paper makes reference to Pacific island societies, drawing upon the similarities, tensions and potential contradictions between development and culture. In the Pacific Island societies like Fiji, where a large segment of the population is rural and tradition based, increasing the role of traditional authorities in governmental structures in rural areas may well be necessary for achieving improved government performance, despite the fact that traditional authority structures may not meet expectations of non-discriminatory community participation in political decisions.
