N2  - "Since the late 1980s there have been major changes to New Zealand's constitution. In areas such as freedom of information and parliamentary reform, the changes have been fundamental. There has recently been a rapid growth in Treaty of Waitangi jurisprudence. Reforms have also been heraldedwith the enactment of the Constitution Act and the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act. This work provides a comprehensive explanation of these shifts in the New Zealand constitution and considers how the system of government will operate in the age of MMP."--Publisher description
