WASHINGTON, Dec. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- According to a report released by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), Australia's political policies toward Fiji have negatively impacted Australia's reputation in the region and stunted development opportunities among the Pacific Islands. The report also states that international confidence in Australia's regional leadership is strained as the Bainimarama Government continues to progress economically through freshly formed partnerships with China and other Asian powers. The ASPI report comes only days after the announcement of Fiji's groundbreaking economic plan, which reduces or eliminates taxes for 99 percent of taxpayers and improves the ease of doing business in Fiji for foreign investment through major tax cuts and ...

Meanwhile, is anyone attempting to rate countries on a scale of economic democracy? Such a scale might rate the extent to which people working in enterprises, and their customers, clients, and communities, democratically choose organizational policies. Venezuelan society is debating these questions. In much of the US coverage of Venezuela, those who care most about political democracy (mosdy Chavez critics) and those who care most about economic democracy (mosdy Chavez supporters, with the notable exception ofVenezuelan anarchists), talk past each other. At Peacework, we attempt to publish voices who care about both kinds of democracy. Given last week's defeat of the Venezuelan referendum on constitutional reforms, it appears that a majority ofVenezuelans value both, too. I believe that...

The separation of ownership and control publicized by Berle and Means in 1932 persists today. Domination of public companies by self-serving and ineffective executives costs America billions of dollars every year and contributed to the current economic meltdown. Repeated efforts to solve this problem -- including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, expanded disclosure duties, and more stringent requirements for director independence -- have had little benefit and have sometimes made matters worse. The flaws in our corporate governance system are a growing problem for America's economy as disillusioned investors increasingly place their capital in other countries. Nonetheless, proposals for greater shareholder power have encountered criticisms: various shareholders have conflicting goals; shareholde...

SUVA, Fiji, Jan. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Republic of Fiji today announced its selection of the Canada-based firm CODE Incorporated to conduct electronic voter registration (EVR) in preparation for Fiji's upcoming Parliamentary elections.
