Politically engaged environmental histories with a global perspective can play a central role in addressing these contempo- rary concerns by exploring the historical dimensions of our shared crisis. This series encourages scholarship from the sciences, social sciences, and humanities that, crosses disciplines and reconceptualises the way we think about human-nature relations in time and space. It promotes historical studies that investigate all parts of the globe and all manner of environments, periods and concerns, especially in the global south, including topics such as arable and non-arable landscapes, the built environment, the Anthropocene, atmospheric and hydrological systems and animal-human interactions. We welcome, in particular, frameworks which can link environmental histories with science and technology studies. -

Legal Pluralism and the East India Company in the Straits of Malacca
Legal Pluralism and the English East India Company in the Straits of Malacca during the Early Nineteenth Century NURFADZILAH YAHAYA During the early nineteenth century, the English East India Company (EIC) was in a state of transition in Penang, an island in the Straits of Malacca off the coast of the Malay Peninsula. Although the EIC had established strong ties with merchants based in Penang, they had failed to convince the EIC government in Bengal to invest them with more legal powers. As a result, they could not firmly extend formal jurisdiction over the region. The Anglo-Dutch Treaty (also known as the Treaty of London) that officially cemented EIC legal authority over the Straits of Malacca, was not signed until 1824, bringing the three Straits Settlements of Penang, Malacca, and Singapore under EIC rule officially in 1826. Prior to that, the EIC imposed their ideas of legitimacy on the region via other means, mainly through the co-optation of local individuals of all origins who were identified as polit- ically and economically influential, by granting them EIC military protec- tion, and ease of sailing under English flags. Because co-opted influential individuals could still be a threat to EIC authority in the region, EIC com- pany officials eradicated competing loci of authority by discrediting them in courtroom trials in which they were treated as private individuals. All clients in EIC courts including royal personages in the region were treated like colonial subjects subject to English Common Law.

Development,Environmental Management and Taranaki
DEVELOPMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND TARANAKI his thesis explores how Māori, the Indigenous people of New Zealand, engage in environmental management processes in Taranaki in the context of postcolonial iwi [tribal] 1 development and negotiated settlements with the T government. Situating collaborative relationships in environmental management within the wider context of iwi development and postcolonial reconciliation reveals the complex interweaving of tensions, limitations and optimism that characterises this historical moment. Although ideas of settlement, reconciliation, partnership and collaboration invoke fixed and stable arrangements between Indigenous and government organisations, postcolonial coexistence is an ongoing process and remains profoundly unsettled. Drawing on postdevelopment and postcolonial theories I argue that (Indigenous) negotiations of collaborative environmental management and development can be read as unsettling openings that clear space for postcolonial mutuality and plurality. Government-led environmental management is a fundamentally cultural, spatial and political act that asserts and maintains the government’s prerogative to control the use and construction of places. Colonial appropriations of Indigenous land are stabilised 1 Throughout the thesis Maori words will be italicised and translated into English at their first usage. Maori words and their translations can also be found in the glossary. 1 CHAPTER ONE: Development, Environmental Management and Taranaki through the state’s environmental management; -

Described by Fiona Kidman as a ‘ravishing, immersing read’, A Strange Beautiful Excitement is a ‘wild ride’ through the Wellington of Katherine Mansfield’s childhood. From the grubby, wind-blasted streets of Thorndon to the hushed green valley of Karori, author Redmer Yska, himself raised in Karori, retraces Mansfield’s old ground: the sights, sounds and smells of the rickety colonial capital, as experienced by the budding writer. Along the way his encounters and dogged research – into her Beauchamp ancestry, the social landscape, the festering, deadly surroundings – lead him (and us) to reevaluate long- held conclusions about the writer’s shaping years. -
