This book explains how recognition theory contributes to
non-colonial and enduring political relationships between
Indigenous nations and the state. It refers to Indigenous
Australian arguments for a Voice to Parliament and treaties to show
what recognition may mean for practical politics and policy-making.
It considers critiques of recognition theory by Canadian First
Nations' scholars who make strong arguments for its assimilationist
effect, but shows that ultimately, recognition is a theory and
practice of transformative potential, requiring fundamentally
different ways of thinking about citizenship and sovereignty. This
book draws extensively on New Zealand's Treaty of Waitangi and
measures to support Maori political participation, to show what
treaties and a Voice to Parliament could mean in practical terms.
It responds to liberal democratic objections to show how
institutionalised means of indigenous participation may, in fact,
make democracy work better.

This original book is the first comprehensive integration of
political theory to explain indigenous politics. It assesses the
ways in which indigenous and liberal political theories interact to
consider the practical policy implications of the indigenous right
to self-determination. Providing opportunities for indigenous
peoples to pursue culturally framed understandings of liberal
democratic citizenship, the author reveals indigeneity's concern
for political relationships, agendas and ideas beyond the ethnic
minority claim to liberal recognition. The implications for
national reconciliation, liberal democracy, citizenship and
historical constraints on political authority are explored. He also
shows that indigeneity's local geo-political focus, underpinned by
global theoretical developments in law and politics, makes
indigeneity a movement of forward looking transformational
politics. This innovative, theoretically sophisticated and vibrant
work will influence policy and scholarly debates on the politics of
indigeneity and indigenous rights and will be of broad
international interest to a transcultural, transnational and global
phenomenon.

taken on journeys of discovery with sometimes unforeseen
consequences.
What is school reform? What makes it sustainable? Who needs to be
involved? How is scaling up achieved? This book is about the need
for educational reforms that have built into them, from the outset,
those elements that will see them sustained in the original sites
and spread to others. Using New Zealand's Te Kotahitanga Project as
a model the authors branch out from the project itself to seek to
uncover how an educational reform can become both extendable and
sustainable. Their model can be applied to a variety of levels
within education: classroom, school and system wide. It has seven
elements that should be present in the reform initiative from the
outset. These elements include establishing goals and a vision for
reducing disparities; embedding a new pedagogy to depth in order to
change the core of educational practice; developing new
institutions and organisational structures to support in-class
initiatives; developing leadership that is responsive, proactive
and distributed; spreading the reform to include all teachers,
parents, community members and external agencies; developing and
using appropriate measures of performance as evidence for modifying
core classroom and school practices; creating opportunities for all
involved to take ownership of the reform in such a way that the
original objectives of the reform are protected and sustained.
The Law of Rescission is an extensive analysis of the law
concerning the rescission of contracts and gifts in England and
Wales, and also contains detailed reference to the law of other
parts of the Commonwealth including Australia, New Zealand, Canada,
British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Singapore,
Hong Kong, Malaysia, and India. This is the leading work in the
field. The revised third edition builds on the established format
of the previous edition, fully updating case law and considering
how developments, such as the introduction of machine generated
contracts, impacts on the law. The book also incorporates new
legislation, such as The Insurance Act 2015. Rescission is
frequently sought in commercial, property, and insurance disputes,
making this book an essential reference for all lawyers involved in
civil litigation, as well as for civil judges. The Law of Recission
has has been cited by courts in England and Wales, as well as
Australia and Canada. Academics will also find this book of great
interest when researching contracts, remedies, or restitution.
