Recenzii
'The Shapeshifting Crown is a careful, multilayered study of one the most important, but often neglected, institutions in Westminster states. Bringing together legal, political, and anthropological perspectives, this volume offers a rich understanding of the roles the Crown plays in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, while also bringing a critical view to bear of the history and future of Westminster monarchies. This work is essential reading for those seeking to appreciate the meanings and functions of the Crown today.' Philippe Lagassé, William and Jeanie Barton Chair at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University, Ottawa
'Just as the Crown, as a physical object, displays different bejewelled faces depending on the perspective of the viewer, so too the Crown in its symbolic and governmental form displays many facets. This new book, edited by New Zealand's Cris Shore and David V. Williams, expertly locates and analyses each of these facets - from the sacred relationship between the Crown and Indigenous peoples, to its history, rituals and embodiment within the patriotic myth and spirit of different Commonwealth Realms. The book also looks to the future, addressing the likely impact of the death of the Queen, the effectiveness of republican movements and efforts to rein in the prerogative powers of the Crown. This book is unique, as it traverses across the fields of history, politics, law, anthropology and sociology in its examination of the Crown in the Realms. It makes a sophisticated and enlightening contribution to scholarship on the Crown.' Anne Twomey, Sydney Law School, University of Sydney
'The efficiently coordinated multiple authors of this intriguing book adopt a classic anthropological move in an unusual context: they examine an eccentric symbol of centralized power (the British Crown) from the variously and productively marginalizing distance of indigenous and settler experiences in three Commonwealth countries (Australia, New Zealand, and Canada). Shunning facile assumptions, they explore the entailment of all parties in the Crown's kaleidoscopic ontology. The result is a stunning, multi-faceted empirical analysis of that ever-present institution, the state, as a peculiar - and, yes, shapeshifting - form of polity. This book deserves a wide audience.' Michael Herzfeld, Ernest E. Monrad Professor of the Social Sciences, Harvard University, Massachusetts
'This formidable team of four [editors] successfully offers us interesting insights into a topic usually studied from a legal point of view only. The essays obviously refer to statutes and case law, but they also provide interviews with key figures who share their views on the role of the Crown. Thus, the book mainly focuses on the public perception of where power really lies in the four states under scrutiny … The book shall be of interest to New Zealand readers, not only because this country is one of the four states studied, but more importantly, it provides relevant insights in light of the current debate about whether New Zealand should become a republic …' John F. Wilson, Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies

Descriere
The Crown is the bedrock of Westminster-style democracies, yet its meanings, powers and effects are opaque and little understood.
