Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay reviews three recent books that address a range of policy issues currently affecting politics in Aotearoa New Zealand. Dominic O’Sullivan’s Sharing the Sovereign illustrates how treaties between states and Indigenous peoples can provide the basis for power-sharing arrangements across various spheres of public policy. Paul Spoonley’s The New New Zealand outlines the profound immigration-driven demographic changes experienced in recent decades and the failures of decision-makers to adjust to this new reality. Max Rashbrooke’s Too Much Money analyses the issue of social class in New Zealand and the dangers of an apparently increasing class divide. The essay outlines some of these arguments in detail and evaluates each contribution to both scholarship and actual public policy debates as New Zealand arguably enters a more contentious political moment.
这篇文章回顾了最近出版的三本关于当前影响新西兰奥特罗阿政治的一系列政策问题的书。多米尼克·奥沙利文的《分享主权》阐述了国家和土著人民之间的条约如何为公共政策各个领域的权力分享安排提供基础。保罗·斯波利(Paul Spoonley)的《新西兰》(The New Zealand)概述了近几十年来由移民推动的深刻的人口变化，以及决策者未能适应这一新现实。马克斯·拉什布鲁克的《太多的钱》分析了新西兰的社会阶级问题，以及明显日益扩大的阶级分化的危险。本文详细概述了其中的一些论点，并评估了每一项对学术和实际公共政策辩论的贡献，因为新西兰可以说进入了一个更具争议的政治时刻。
