Abstract
The decollectivizing impacts of Fiji's post-1990 economic reforms upon its labour market institutions have aggravated its economic vulnerabi lities. Accelerated internationalization of its economy has meant that the market coordinating capabilities of labour market institutions ha ve been eroded. Weakened labour market institutions have harmed state capacity to deal with social exclusion and economic marginalization. I t has also inhibited its ability to direct small-to medium-scale enter prises towards competitive growth.
