Seven Economic development as differentiated citizenship: New Zealand
Abstract
Citizenship is a determinant of indigenous economic opportunity; it defines the ways in which people belong to the national political community and influences people’s access to economic agency. The relationship between economic agency and differentiated citizenship is especially close. It is a relationship that proceeds from wider relationships between culture and what people expect from economic activity. It proceeds also from the central role that differentiated citizenship plays in admitting culture into public policy. The relationship among economic opportunities, Treaty settlements and educational effectiveness are also important marks of substantive differentiated citizenship. The chapter shows that Maori ethnicity is not synonymous with victimhood, but that Maori see the purpose of economic activity from a self-determining culturally defined perspective.
