Taylor September 2018 Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the National Centre for Research on Europe at the University of Canterbury Acknowledgements This thesis was completed under the direction and support of Prof. Martin Holland and the National Centre for Research on Europe. The EUCN grant though the European Union helped to fund my research. I would like thank my friend and mentor Emeritus Prof. Michael Winterbourne for his immense input into the editing and advising during the writing of this thesis, my dear friends Dr’s Timothy Phillips and Janine Bailey for their continued support during some tough times and as sounding boards for my ideas and my dear wife who has put up with poverty and passion for so many years. My research and the resulting thesis is the product of numerous collaborations between extremely diverse groups of people who have similar desires and concerns. All of my friends and colleagues who have been involved with EcoCARE Pacific Trust and who like me believe that participation and collaboration are fundamental requirements if change is to occur. I have been fortunate enough to have many dear friends and relations who have seen something in me that I don’t see in myself. They have been un-relenting in their support for my often seemingly pointless endeavours to attempt to participate in addressing the multitude of issues that affect each and every one of us in some way, and these dear people have encouraged rather than discouraged me to continue on.
