The Maori economy is often defined simply by the contributions of
Maori in New Zealand in the areas of farming, fisheries and
forestry. This book explores the ways that Maori in the privatised
military industry contribute in monetary and non-monetary ways to
the Maori economy. Workers in the privatised military industry very
rarely, if ever, give interviews about their work or details about
their pay. However, this book includes five interviews with Maori
who have worked or are still working in the privatised military
industry and explores how they articulate themselves as Maori in
the industry, giving a glimpse at this secret world and how Maori
operate in it.
Environmental Politics and Policy in Aotearoa New Zealand is a
comprehensive introduction to confronting some of today's most
urgent challenges. Global warming, threats to biodiversity,
contamination of waterways and other environmental issues confront
today's citizens with critical challenges that are fundamentally
political. Power, authority and state action enable current
practices - and through politics and policy that power can be
harnessed to create a more ecologically sustainable planet. In this
book, leading scholars from around Aotearoa introduce students to
environmental politics and policy based in this country's unique
institutional, cultural and resource context. The text focuses on
the key importance of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the characteristics of
the natural environment in Aotearoa and the role of gender dynamics
in the distribution of power, before turning to how this unique
setting informs and is, in turn, informed by the global context of
environmental politics. The authors take a systemic view of
environmental politics and governance in New Zealand, addressing
the philosophical and ideational debates about who and what matters
(both human and non-human), the political institutions that embed
and enact these ideas, and how these ideas then manifest in
particular arenas - from climate and freshwater to energy and
farming. Practical tips - how to make a submission, organise a
protest, write a policy brief or a press release - are woven
throughout.
