An ‘inclusive’ society: a ‘leap forward’ for Māori in New Zealand?. Humpage, L. Critical Social Policy, 26(1):220–242, February, 2006. ![An ‘inclusive’ society: a ‘leap forward’ for Māori in New Zealand? [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Existing literature, which has emerged largely from Europe and Britain, suggests that the concepts of social exclusion and inclusion are fundamentally limited when accounting for ‘difference’. This paper extends this literature by considering the way in which a social exclusion/inclusion discourse has played out in a ‘white settler’ society where the ‘difference’ embodied by the highly ‘excluded’ indigenous population is a central concern for social policy. The paper argues that the goal of an ‘inclusive society’, which has framed New Zealand social policy since 1999, promotes an equal opportunity approach that sits in tension with the specific needs and rights of MØaori as indigenous peoples and partners in the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi. The ambiguous consequences of this goal highlight the need for settler societies to develop policy that reflects their own socio-political circumstances, rather than simply adopt policy discourses that are popular internationally.
