Me tū ā-uru
This article presents Me Tū ā-Uru, an action plan developed under the New Zealand Biological Heritage National Science Challenge, with a focus on reshaping our relationships, governance and policy to best care for our environment in Aotearoa New Zealand. Inspired by existing action plans and reports, the authors formed a working group comprising Māori researchers and environmental practitioners. The authors discuss the rationale behind creating a…
Towards a fairer and more 'tika' political science and politics
Social and political change is occurring in Aotearoa New Zealand and tikanga, mātauranga, te reo Māori (the Māori language) and Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) are increasingly being recognised in diverse political and legal contexts. This article explores whether the political science discipline is keeping pace with these political changes, whether research and course content is adequately reflecting these new realities, and if student…
Decolonizing politics with insights from Indigenous Studies
The Māori Electoral Option
The Māori Electoral Option is a period of 4 months, every 5 years, when Māori electors can choose whether to be on the Māori or the General Electoral Roll. The outcome of the Māori Electoral Option is a key factor in determining the number of Māori seats in the New Zealand Parliament. The Electoral Commission estimates that approximately 6,000 Māori voters each year request to change electoral roll, but in 2017 over 19,000 voters applied to chang…
Voting in Māori Governance Entities
Internationally, declining voter turnout is a topic of considerable concern in many liberal democracies. In this article, we investigate whether these similar trends can be discerned in the voter turnout for Māori governance entities. We first explore some of the demographic contexts within which Māori governance entities operate with a specific focus on population, residence, and age. We then provide a detailed descriptive analysis of voting dat…
Challenges on the path to Treaty‐based Local Government relationships
In this article I examine some of the challenges for Māori and Local Government on the path to Treaty‐based Local Government relationships. I suggest significant challenges exist in three core areas. The first relates to the attitudes towards the ideas of Treaty‐based Local Government and evident in common terminology which has a narrow focus on the identity of Māori as ‘representatives’ rather than ‘Treaty partners’. The third challenge is the l…
Participation as exclusion
Land and natural resources are at the core of conflicts between Indigenous peoples and Settlers in settler-colonial nations. This article explores the coloniality of natural resource law in the context of the New Zealand Crown Minerals Act 1991 (CMA) Block Offer process; the annual tender process for mineral prospecting and exploration. While there is often strong Māori participation, we will argue that Aotearoa New Zealand settler-colonial minin…
From new paternalism to new imaginings of possibilities in Australia, Canada and Aotearoa/New Zealand
The impact of neoliberal governance on indigenous peoples in liberal settler states may be both enabling and constraining. This book is distinctive in drawing comparisons between three such states?Australia, Canada and New Zealand. In a series of empirically grounded, interpretive micro-studies, it draws out a shared policy coherence, but also exposes idiosyncrasies in the operational dynamics of neoliberal governance both within each state and b…
Māori as “Warriors” and “Locals” in the Private Military Industry
Māori as “Warriors” and “Locals” in the Private Military Industry Maria Bargh (bio) and Quentin Whanau (bio) The private military industry has expanded rapidly since the 1980s and traverses many countries, governments, and peoples. Unlike other peoples described as “warrior peoples” or “martial races,” Māori are not predominantly seen and do not predominantly speak about themselves as “warriors” in the private military industry, which has expande…

Opportunities and complexities for Māori and mana whenua representation in local government
In this article, I outline the existing legislative options available and rationale for Māori representation in local government. I suggest that the arguments and rationale against Māori representation have been exacerbated by a lack of clarity around local government’s duties and obligations stemming from the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. In the second part of this article, I explore more recent arguments by Māori for representation and …
A Blue Economy for Aotearoa New Zealand
Multiple sites of Māori political participation
This article examines what might be included in a definition of Māori political participation that moves beyond a predominant focus on voting in New Zealand general elections. I suggest that the proliferation of Māori governance organisations in recent years means that Māori participation within these organisations must also be considered as part of wider political participation. In addition, I argue that Māori engagement with local authorities d…
Moving On From The Developmental View Of Humanity
For many Indigenous people’s questions relating to development and how development should occur are commonplace. In particular, which types of institutions Indigenous peoples should privilege and establish in order to manage resources and maintain cultural and political institutions is of paramount concern. While different models of development are mooted, the notion of a developmental view of humanity is less often unpicked. The aspects of Hinde…
Progressive spaces of neoliberalism in Aotearoa
In this article, we will argue that any investigation of the 'progressive spaces of neoliberalism' needs to maintain a critical stance on the neoliberal project. In particular, we suggest that it is important to see the ways 'progressive spaces of neoliberalism' are troubled by discourses of colonisation which in turn are themselves disrupted by genealogies of Indigenous struggles. Spaces of neoliberalism are embedded in discourses of colonisatio…
Changing the game plan
The Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004 caused many New Zealanders grave concern. In this article I suggest that a number of the Government's actions since the passing of the Foreshore and Seabed Act bring into question several of its central claims for legislating and the subsequent overriding of Tiriti o Waitangi and human rights laws. As a result, I argue that the inadequacy in our constitutional arrangements requires a change of approach—a new game…
Tiers of Confusion and Blurring Boundaries
In December 2002 a new Local Government Act was passed into statute. Much of the literature, submissions, articles and commentaries leading up to the passing of the Act indicated that a new Act had to clarify the relationships and obligations between local government, the Crown, Maori and the Treaty of Waitangi. In this paper I argue that the new Act has not adequately clarified these relationships and obligations, and that there are particular r…
The Triumph of Maori Entrepreneurs or Diverse Economies
Tuaropaki Power Company is the first Maori geothermal power company—a successful power company that built its own power station and sells electricity to the national grid in Aotearoa, New Zealand. After wresting their lands back from government control, the people of the Tuaropaki Trust are now an inspiration for other tribes when it comes to charting an independent direction. Tuaropaki Power Company is not only celebrated for charting an indepen…
