Excerpt from Democracy in New Zealand
IT is curious that, while the people of New Zealand are anxious to win the good opinion of the world and are sensitive to criticism, yet the demand by them for books embodying the detailed results of enquiry into their affairs is so restricted as to be almost non-existent. Writers on Australasian life and politics all testify that the chief demand for their works comes, not from Australia and New Zealand, but from Europe and America. An illustration of this is Shown in the fact that the call for a translation of this book comes, not from New Zealand, where its merits must be known, at least to some students and parliamentarians, but from England.
This neglect by the people chiefly concerned of so remarkable a study of their life and institutions arises, perhaps, from the general indifference of the New Zealanders to any attempt to apply general principles to their legislation or their manner of life.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the political, economic, and social conditions of New Zealand in the early 20th century. The author, Andrà Siegfried, a renowned French political scientist, provides a nuanced analysis of the country's unique democratic system, its labor laws, and its relationship with the British Empire. Siegfried astutely observes the interplay between the Liberal and Conservative parties, highlighting how their policies shaped New Zealand's social landscape. He also examines the country's progressive labor legislation, including the groundbreaking compulsory arbitration system, and its impact on industrial relations. Moreover, the book explores New Zealand's evolving relationship with Britain, shedding light on the tensions and aspirations that marked this period of colonial transition. Siegfried's insights offer valuable perspectives on the historical development of New Zealand's political and social institutions, making this book a significant contribution to the understanding of the country's formative years.
