In late 2009, when Stephen Levine and I lodged a joint application to be co-editors of the Government and Nation theme for Te Ara, New Zealand’s official online encyclopedia, we thought the work would be interesting and challenging.
We were right certainly right there!
In 2010 our first two tasks as co-editors were to define the scope of the theme and to come up with a list of roughly 100 topics that would be included in the section of the encyclopedia focused on Government and Nation.
Stephen and I fairly quickly decided that the Government and Nation theme should centre on the establishment and evolution of a New Zealand approach to government, and on the development of a sense of nationhood.
