Abstract

On 1 July 2009, the Bainimarama regime announced
a road map for democracy that promised a transition
to parliamentary democratic rule by September 2014
(Ministry of National Planning 2009). An important
part of this road map were the plans for a constitution making process that would provide a ‘solid foundation
and framework for the rebuilding of our nation’. To
ensure national ownership of the constitution, the
regime promised a participatory constitution-making
process that would involve political parties, the private
sector, civil society, non-government organisations,
and citizens of Fiji.
