History Of

Was 1993 a happening year or was 1993 a happening year! A number of significant events, in national as well as global terms, occurred. It was: the centenary year of Women’s Suffrage in Aotearoa; the International Year of the World’s Indigenous People, linking “an estimated 250 million indigenous people in more than seventy countries around the world” (Te Puni Kokiri, 1993a); an election year; and the final year of the Development Decade, which was outlined as the third objective of the kawenata, the covenant, declared by Maoridom at the Hui Taumata, the Maori Economic Development Summit held in 1984, marked in Te Rapa this year with the holding of the 1993 National Commercial and Economic Development Conference, organised by the Ki Tua o Te Arai Trust (Te Puni Kokiri, 1993b). Each of these events has major implications for Maori education during 1993 and beyond. Analyses of the implications of these events for Maori education provide the major organising themes for this paper. The events of 1993 have stimulated much critical debate, research and scholarly analyses of the issues they encompass. We will all be the richer for the publication of these new works. Numerous conferences have been held and books launched. Some of the books capturing this year’s themes with significance for Maori education include: Standing in the Sunshine (Coney, 1993); Maori Women and the Vote (Rei, 1993); Nga Mahi Whakaari a Titokowaru, Ruka Broughton’s previously unpublished draft doctoral thesis (Broughton, 1993) (the first Maori text on Titokowaru to be published, following the two previously published texts in English by Pakeha writers); Learning Liberation: Women as Facilitators of Learning (Manchester and O’Rourke, 1993); Te Ara Tika: Maori and Libraries – A Research Report (MacDonald, 1993); Educating Feminists: Life Histories and Pedagogy (Middleton, 1993); Te Maori i roto i nga Mahi Whakaakoranga – Maori in Education (Davies and Nicholl, 1993); Women Together: A History of Women’s Organisations in New Zealand (Else et al., 1993); and Te Hikoi Marama, Volume 2 – A Directory of Maori Information Resources (Szekely, 1993)...

The Third World

Over the first U.N. development decade the Third World has made rather faster progress, as measured by the growth in national incomes, than had been expected. Nevertheless, though the average income per capita has risen by about 50 per cent since 1960 (with total income having almost doubled), these increases have been very unequally distributed both between and within countries. This has led to the conclusion, now widely held, that growth-oriented development strataegies are alone unlidely to solve the problem of poverty. Similarly, there has been a move away from the confidence placed upon the growth of national income per capita as an effective index of social welfare. There has therefore been a quickening interest, particularly on the part of multilateral and bilataeral donor agencies – notably the World Bank, I.L.O., O.D.M., and S.I.D.A. – in promoting changes in domestic policies within the Third World which would focus more upon increasing the welfare of the poorest groups.

In the first development decade of the Third World countries, the growth of the GNP has been beyond the expectations of their policy makers. However, the very idea of growth is debatable mainly because of the neglect of the dis¬tribution aspect. It is realised that without redistribution policies, one-third of the Third World population would not benefit from growth. Does equitable distribution mean lower growth? Is it possible to achieve both an equitable distribution and a growth of the GNP simultaneously? How should a policy package for redistribution be prepared so that it has the least depressing effect on growth? What problem does a developing country face in adopting redis¬tribution policies ? The book under review attempts to answer these questions. The general theme of the book is that distributional objectives should be treated as an integral part of the overall development strategy. The book, which consists of 13 chapters contributed singly or jointly by the authors (the only outsider being D.C. Rao who has contributed Chapter VII), is divided into three parts, namely: Reorientation of Policy, Quantification and Modeling, and Annex and Bibliography. The first eight chapters are devoted to Reorien¬tation of Policy while the remaining five chapters are devoted to Quantification and Modeling. The Annex gives the experiences of India, Cuba, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, South Korea and Taiwan with redistribution and growth. A com¬prehensive bibliography completes the book.
