title: Conceptions, language, culture and mathematics and the New Zealand curriculum.

authors: Bailey, Judy

subjects: conceptions of mathematics

abstract: In this paper we explore two conceptions of mathematics that are evident in literature. Mathematics as a static body of knowledge is one conception, and another is of mathematics being an endeavour that is constructive and creative. With the release of The New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007), we formalised our ongoing debates about these conceptions by constructing and using metaphors to explore and refine our ideas. In some parts of the curriculum document, there is juxtaposition with a conception of mathematics being social, constructive and creative. However, other aspects of the document appear to reflect the conception of mathematics as a body of knowledge. We express a concern that this latter conception of mathematics may become privileged over other possibilities. We therefore explore what constructive, creative mathematics might look like in a classroom.

title: The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and the protection of commercial confidential information and trade secrets in New Zealand law

authors: Kingsbury, Anna

subjects: criminal liability

abstract: After many years in which trade secrets law received relatively little attention internationally, we are now seeing a flurry of activity aimed at harmonising trade secret protection, combined with efforts to increase the level of protection provided by law. Internationally, there have been a number of initiatives to increase trade secret protection, driven by concerns about economic espionage, especially foreign economic espionage. ¹This article is about one such initiative, the trade secret provisions in the recently concluded Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) to which New Zealand is a party, and the impact these provisions will have on New Zealand law.
