Sets out the philosophical conditions for achieving a balanced view of the Waitangi process ... [The author] brings a self-conscious method to the investigation of these issues & finds there is a considerable gap between the rhetoric of the Waitangi process & New Zealand realities ...He tracks a number of hidden contradictions in current discussion & ends with a warning that short-sighted moral absolutism is in danger of threatening New Zealand's hitherto enviable political stability.
