Paperback. Condition: Good. 497 pages. Cover wornVoting systems are not usually the subje ct of editorials, letter-to-the-editor and petitions. MMP is the exception. Yet the move to a new electoral system for New Zealand was not entered into lightly or rapidly. This book provides a documentary record of the process of electoral reform and its con sequences. The years of debate and deliberation involved a Royal Commission, two referendums and the writing of a new Electoral Ac t. But there was much more, including court cases on the enrolmen t of Maori voters; the drawing up of new electorate boundaries fo r the whole country; the drafting of new selection rules by polit ical parties for their electorate and party-list candidates. Th is collection of documents traces the story of MMP from the Royal Commission's proposals through the break-up of the National-New Zealand First Coalition. The coalition agreements between Jim Bol ger and Winston Peters, and between Jenny Shipley and the defecto rs from New Zealand First are both published in this volume. Othe r documents focus on the resignation of Alamein Kopu from the All iance - and what, if anything should have been done about it - as well as the wider impact of MMP on New Zealand's politics and la w-making - on Parliament, Cabinet and the public service. Chang es to the honours system, the role of the Governor-General and to New Zealand's highest court are among the broader constitutional topics in this reference source. The final section of the book b rings together speeches and proposals envisaging a New Zealand re public in the new Millennium. A companion to The New Zealand Po litics Source Book (now in its third edition), this collection of primary materials will be invaluable for anyone interested in a serious answer to the most important question being asked about M MP - how did it happen?

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What has happened to the New Zealand women's movement since the 1970s? How has MMP changed women's participation in politics, and how involved with the political process are younger generations of women? How equal are men and women these days in central and local government, the workplace, the media and the home? What else needs to be done to improve gender equality? Rethinking Women and Politics takes up where Women and Politics in New Zealand (Catt and McLeay, 1993) left off, examining the position of women in New Zealand society after a period of extensive social and political change. It reflects on changes in New Zealand feminism, women's voting and representation, and sites of conflict and cooperation, and compares the New Zealand situation with those of other countries, particularly the United Kingdom and Germany. Most of all, Rethinking Women and Politics attempts to figure out why the issues that occupied activists and scholars in 1993 - participation and protest, representation, equal access to power, institutional cultures, the role played by feminist theory, and policies that enhance women's lives rather than inhibit them - remain the issues that concern them today. Rethinking Women and Politics takes up where Women and Politics in New Zealand (Catt and McLeay, 1993) left off, examining the position of women in New Zealand society after a period of extensive social and political change.
