本研究以紐西蘭毛利族的地熱開發為例，檢視能源轉型如何透過空間治理延續殖民性排除。紐西蘭雖已納入毛利參與機制，惟其「制度化賦權」相當脆弱，高度依賴政治氛圍。研究發現殖民歷史深刻形塑了土地治理架構，原住民族主體性持續被邊緣化；空間治理把文化土地轉化為「可治理資源」；形式參與多半停留在諮詢層次，缺乏實質賦權。2023年右翼政府上台後的政策倒退，印證了這種賦權的不穩定性。鑑此，公正轉型須把原住民族治理權制度化為具法律約束力的權力安排，去殖民能源治理方可能真正落實，也為臺灣原住民族地熱政策的發展提供借鏡。

This research aims to understand how energy transition policies exclude Indigenous peoples in the same way colonial regimes have, using Māori geothermal development in New Zealand as the main case study. Although Māori people have been included in New Zealand’s resource management systems, this inclusion is structurally weak and depends on the government in power. The three findings include: colonial history is embedded in land governance frameworks that exclude Indigenous cultural identities; land governance tends to transform land into an administrative means of generating revenue; and formal channels of participation do not provide Māori communities with the power to enforce the decision-making processes. The findings conclude that, for a just energy transition, Indigenous governance rights must be adopted in a legally binding manner.
