O’Sullivan also critiques the idea that Te Tiriti created one people, assimilating Māori into colonial ways of governing. Instead, he proposes a new politics where Māori self-determination and liberal democracy, rangatiratanga and kāwanatanga, complement one another to promote meaningful and culturally grounded political equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eO’Sullivan enables us to see a future for Aotearoa in which political authority and responsibility belong to everyone and should therefore work equally well for all; a country where Māori people, as much as anyone else, bring their tikanga to public life; and a society where the Crown is no longer the word we use to describe government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor scholars, policymakers and political leaders, for Māori and Pākehā, for all of us imagining a respectful and inclusive future for our island democracy, this is essential reading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47417533726956,"sku":"9781776712366","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/bf5a268e88df93833dc96fe176c776b9.jpg?v=1774307193"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dominic-osullivan.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
