O' Sullivan also critiques the idea that Te Tiriti created one people, assimilating Maori into colonial ways of governing. Instead, he proposes a new politics where Maori self-determination and liberal democracy, rangatiratanga and kawanatanga, complement one another to promote meaningful and culturally grounded political equality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eO' Sullivan enables us to see a future for Aotearoa in which political authority and responsibility belong to everyone and should therefore work equally well for all; a country where Maori people, as much as anyone else, bring their tikanga to public life; and a society where the Crown is no longer the word we use to describe government.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor scholars, policymakers and political leaders, for Maori and Pakeha, for all of us imagining a respectful and inclusive future for our island democracy, this is essential reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor Dominic O' Sullivan (Te Rarawa, Ngati Kahu) is a political scientist at Charles Sturt University in Australia.
