Book Description
Excerpt from State Experiments in Australia New Zealand, Vol. 1 of 2 Therefore, though 1881 was in no sense such a year of change or unrest as 1890, it so happens that almost all these chapters deal with matters which have occurred since. The suggestion that I should write some such book as this was first made to me seven years ago, and a year later I agreed to make the attempt. For the last twenty years my life's business has directly or indirectly touched upon questions treated of here, and some at least of any leisure I have had has been given up to studying them. Even earlier I had learned a little about colonial politics. Yet this undertaking has proved by no means easy. It has had to be carried out thousands of miles away from most of my sources of authority, and with small opportunity of comparing notes with colonial experts. And the book deals with a throng of reforms and changes in seven separate communities - experiments not settled and done with, but nearly all in progress, still matters of controversy - succeeding, failing, expanding, or being patched up month by month. The amount of revision and recasting required has, in consequence, been considerable. What has held me to a troublesome task has been the stream of inquiries about colonial questions which has come to me without ceasing for the last half-dozen years. Ninety Englishmen out of every hundred may be quite unconcerned about colonial social experiments, and, frankly, I think they are. But there is an increasing number of students in England, on the Continent, and in America who are sincerely interested in them.

Oceania under steam
Author: Frances Steel
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526119196
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
The age of steam was the age of Britain’s global maritime dominance, the age of enormous ocean liners and human mastery over the seas. The world seemed to shrink as timetabled shipping mapped out faster, more efficient and more reliable transoceanic networks. But what did this transport revolution look like at the other end of the line, at the edge of empire in the South Pacific? Through the historical example of the largest and most important regional maritime enterprise - the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand - Frances Steel eloquently charts the diverse and often conflicting interests, itineraries and experiences of commercial and political elites, common seamen and stewardesses, and Islander dock workers and passengers. Drawing on a variety of sources, including shipping company archives, imperial conference proceedings, diaries, newspapers and photographs, this book will appeal to cultural historians and geographers of British imperialism, scholars of transport and mobility studies, and historians of New Zealand and the Pacific.

Responsible Government and the Australian Constitution
Author: Benjamin B Saunders
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1509955801
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
This book looks at responsible government under the Australian Constitution. It undertakes a detailed examination of the history leading to the incorporation of responsible government into the Constitution, examining the political history and constitutional ideas which informed the framers' views. It draws on this history to develop a theory of responsible government and explore its implications for the interpretation of the Constitution and the structure of modern government in Australia. The book fills a major gap in our knowledge of the intellectual background of the Australian Constitution by explaining the constitutional ideas that have shaped the text and structure of the Australian Constitution. It contributes to worldwide debates about constitutional interpretation by showing how rigorous use of history can lead to novel interpretations of constitutions without being tied to the 'dead hands of the founders'.
