Republicanism is on the New Zealand agenda. Although attracting little discussion, it has the potential to change the New Zealand identities, their international role, the structure of their constitution and the nature of democracy in the country. This book explores the origins of the movement, its meaning for recent changes in everyday life ('the free market', proportional representation), its connection to overseas developments and its distinctive character here, including tino rangatiratanga. This book is an accessible and reliable point of reference for what will inevitably be an important subject for debate in Aoteaora/New Zealand.
