Since then the authors have travelled the country, discussing with the public the nature of New Zealand's identity and where the country is headed. After considering their conversations and formal submissions, this second book - with its revised proposal for a codified constitution - is the product of a year in development. Towards Democratic Renewal reinforces Palmer and Butler's argument for a robust and democratic framework that will safeguard our political system against future challenges, from climate change to earthquakes, 'post-truth' politics and surveillance. This clear, revised constitution defines and entrenches government accountability and transparency, protects the rights of our peoples and tangata whenua, and offers transformative steps to uphold the sovereignty and integrity of Aotearoa New Zealand"--Publisher information. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Why a constitution is important -- Our constitutional vision -- What the public told us -- A Constitution based on principle -- The State and a New Zealand republic -- The Government -- Local government -- The Parliament -- Why New Zealand does not need an upper house -- The Judiciary -- Integrity and transparency -- Bill of Rights -- The Treaty of Waitangi and the constitution -- More people need to know how government works -- Elections are not enough -- Deepening citizen engagement -- The media, information and communication -- How to build a new constitution -- Constitution of Aotearoa New Zealand -- Te Pouhere o Aotearoa Niu Tireni -- A note on the translation -- Afterword -- Meetings around New Zealand. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z New Zealand. 650 0 $a Representative government and representation $z New Zealand. 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 650 7 $a Representative government and representation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094941 651 0 $a New Zealand $x Politics and government. 651 7 $a New Zealand. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204542 655 4 $a BOOK 655 4 $a PUBLISHED IN NEW ZEALAND 700 1 $a Butler, Andrew S., $e author. 700 1 $a Roberts, Scarlet. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721013733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1BE9C56129911EBB48536AA50ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
