New authority could transform Māori health, but only if it’s a leader, not a partner.

Description

A contribution to public knowledge and debate of an important public matter, informed by several of my previous publications on public policy and self-determination.

This activity is complex because it involves the collection, explanation, interpretation, and presentation of diverse and contested theoretical ideas. It is complex because it translates theoretically difficult concepts into easily understandable terms for a non-specialist audience and applies them to questions of contemporary public policy. It is complex because it draws on ideas developed through my research published over several years. This means that time and effort cannot be quantified with precision but that it is, nevertheless, substantial. The diversity of end-users is evident in the number of readers across at least five jurisdictions and the engagement plans and briefings occurred with the commissioning editor.
