MAGNA CARTA AND NEW ZEALAND GEBUNDEN

This volume is the first to explore the vibrant history of Magna Carta in Aotearoa New
Zealand¿s legal  political and popular culture. Readers will benefit from in-depth analyses of
the Charter¿s reception along with explorations of its roles in regard to larger constitutional
themes.The common thread that binds the collection together is its exploration of what the
adoption of a medieval charter as part of New Zealand¿s constitutional arrangements has meant ¿
and might mean ¿ for a Pacific nation whose identity remains in flux. The contributions to this
volume are grouped around three topics: remembrance and memorialization of Magna Carta  the
reception of the Charter by both M¿ori and non-M¿ori between 1840 and 2015  and reflection on
the roles that the Charter may yet play in future constitutional debate. This collection
provides evidence of the enduring attraction of Magna Carta  and its importance as a platform
of constitutional aspiration.
