Abstract

GEOGRAPHICAL REVIEWS 121 of other agencies such as the Fijian Banana Venture and the recently appointed Economic Development Officers are reviewed and commended. Various village projects that have succeeded under exceptional local leadership are examined for policy guidance. On the evidence before him Professor Spate concludes that the authoritarian procedures.and multiplicity of regulations controlling all activi- ties of the Fijian people have given rise to a number of special problems in village life, among which general frustration and repressive bureaucracy are conspicuous.

In theory, rather than in practice, a very large part of the daily round in the rural villages is controlled by pre- ordained Programmes of Work and other rules that are given legal sanction by Fijian Regulations. It is not surprising that Professor
