His kindness and tolerance are beyond words. Without his help and encouragement, the thesis would not have been completed in this form. I am also thankful to Dr James Ockey, formerly lecturer in the Political Science Department, for his insightful comments on an earlier draft of the questionnaire survey that is so central to this thesis. And I am grateful to Dr Jane Buckingham for very kindly agreeing to take over as associate supervisor when Dr Ockey departed for the United States. I am pleased to acknowledge that this study was in part funded by the Sasakawa Fellowship Fund for Japanese Language Education. I would also like to express my gratitude to all the members of the Japanese community in Christchurch who so generously spared their time to assist me in my research. Without their cooperation this thesis would not have been possible. I am very much indebted to the Japanese Society of Canterbury, especially to Mr Takayoshi Kamiya, Mrs Noriko Wright, and Mr Kazuhiro Matsuzaki. And I have also received important assistance from Mr Masahiro Takemura of the Japanese Consular Office of Christchurch, Mr Tomoyuki Sasaki of the Japan Trading Assembly, and Mr Kiyomi Gunji, Mr Haruki Tashiro and Mr Kenji Azuma of the Japanese Society of Auckland. iii I would like to thank my parents, Teruo and Masako Kuragasaki, who have given me great encouragement and support. Finally, I would like to thank my husband and my son, Vinny and Sage Laughton, for their patience during the long hours I was working on the thesis. iv List of Tables 1.0 Distribution of Japanese permanent and non-permanent residents in Old and New communities, 2004……………………………………….5 1.1 Number of Japanese population in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, other cities, and New Zealand, 1896-2001……………………………......21 1.2 Reasons for leaving Japan…………………………………………………37 1.3 Reasons for selecting New Zealand as the immigration destination…..….42 3.1 English competency levels of total respondents…………………………..78 3.2 English competency levels by length of residence in New Zealand……...78 3.3 English competency levels by gender………………………………….....78 3.4 English competency levels by respondent’s partner’s first language……..79 3.5 Residential location………………………………………………………..86 3.6 Frequency of socialisation by English level……………………………....98 3.7 Proportion of Japanese, Asian and New Zealand European households with access to telecommunication systems………………………………102 3.8 Frequency of contacting families and friends in Japan…………………..103 3.9 Frequency of gathering news on Japan compared with frequency of gathering news on New Zealand………………………………………....107 3.10 Frequency of gathering news on Japan compared with frequency of gathering news on New Zealand, by respondent’s partner’s first language………………………………………………………………….108 3.11 Main sources of news on Japan by respondents’ partners’ first language………………………………………………………………….109 3.12 Main sources of news on New Zealand, by partner’s first language…….111 4.1 Aspect of Japanese culture seen as most important to teach children…....129 v 4.2 Ethnic identity……………………………………………………………..134 4.3 Importance of practicing Japanese business manners and acting in conformity with associated Japanese cultural values at work…………….141 5.1 Attitudes towards seasonal evens of Japan and New Zealand by length of residence in New Zealand………………………………………………188 5.2 Level of social activity with different ethnic groups by length of residence…………………………………………………………………..189 vi List of Figures 1.1 Number of Japanese applicants approved for residence in New Zealand, 1986-2004…………………………………………………………………28 1.2 Number of Japanese working holiday makers to New Zealand, 1985-2003………………………………………………………………….30 1.3 Visa categories at first arrival in New Zealand……………………………31 3.1 Occupation by industry for the total respondents………………………….81 3.2 Ethnic interactions in the Workplace………………………………………83 3.3 Main occasions for socialisation……………………………………………89 3.4 Level of socialisation with different ethnic groups…………………….…...93 3.5 Level of socialisation by the respondent’s partner’s first language………...96 4.1 Celebration of Christmas and Easter amongst Japanese immigrants……...116 4.2 Celebration of New Year and Girls’ Day or Boys’ Day amongst Japanese immigrants………………………………………………………118 4.3 Celebration of Christmas and Easter, by partners’ first language…………121 4.4 Celebration of traditional Japanese seasonal events by partners’ first language…………………………………………………………………...123 4.5 Level of support for passing on Japanese culture, traditions and customs to the next generation amongst Japanese parents………………………….125 4.6 Preferences concerning ethnicity of children’s future partner……………..132 4.7 New Zealand Citizenship statuses of the respondents……………………..136 4.8 Intention to apply/not apply for New Zealand citizenship in the future…...138 4.9 Whether respondents considered that they had become less ‘Japanese’…..143 4.10 Whether respondents felt that they had become less ‘Japanese’, by respondent’s partner’s first language……………………………………..143 vii 4.11 Whether respondents felt that they had become less ‘Japanese’, by length of stay………………………………………………………........144 4.12 Whether respondents considered that they had become less ‘Japanese’, by gender…………………………………………………………………...148 4.13 Attitudes towards the national flag for total respondents…………………..151 4.14 Reaction to someone burning a Japanese flag by respondent’s partner’s first language……………………………………………………………….153 4.15 Reaction to someone burning a Japanese flag, by length of residence in New Zealand……………………………………………………………..155 4.16 Level of support for either Japanese or New Zealand teams……………….157 4.17 Support for New Zealand vs. support for Japan, by respondent’s partner’s first language……………………………………………………..161 4.18 Support for New Zealand vs. support for Japan, by length of residence in New Zealand………………………………………………………………..162 5.1 Proportion of male and female respondents………………………………..185 5.2 Age distributions of respondents……………………………………………185 5.3 Length of residence in New Zealand for the total respondents…………….186 5.4 First language for respondent’s partners……………………………………186 viii Abstract Until the 1980s, there was no Japanese community in Christchurch, but only a small number of individuals living mainly amongst European New Zealanders. However, from the mid-1980s changes in New Zealand’s immigration policies and the introduction of a working holiday scheme between Japan and New Zealand, led to the growth of a distinctive Japanese community. Its distinctiveness lays in a fact that unlike the classic ‘New’ immigrant communities of Japanese in Auckland and some other countries, it consisted largely of permanent residents rather than business expatriates. By the 1990s, the community had become large enough to support formal organisational structures, such as the Japanese Society of Canterbury, established in 1991 and the Japanese Supplementary School of Canterbury, opened in 1999. These organisations were founded by the permanent residents, not business sojourners. They fostered a sense of community and were expressions of Japanese identity, but they also promoted links with the host society. In this respect, they were representative of attitudes prevalent amongst the Christchurch’s Japanese permanent residents. A survey conducted as a part of the research for this thesis reveals that Japanese in Christchurch retain a strong ethnic identification with Japan. However, it as well shows that they also have a strong civic identification with Christchurch and with New Zealand because they are glad that they live there; and it shows that most of them socialise extensively with European New Zealanders, support Canterbury and the All Blacks, and adopt aspects of ‘Kiwi culture’. They have a dual loyalty to the land of their birth and the place where they live. ix Introduction In the last 15 years of the twentieth century, New Zealand experienced a dramatic growth in Asian immigration. The new immigrants came from many lands, including Japan. According to Statistics New Zealand, the Japanese population of New Zealand increased 3.4 times between 1991 and 2001, from 2,970 people to 10,000. This made the Japanese the fifth largest Asian ethnic

King wrote, ‘Nobody in New Zealand – and few elsewhere in the world- has been subjected to group slander as intense and as damaging as that heaped upon the Moriori.’ Since its publication, historians have denigrated earlier works dealing with the Moriori, arguing that the way in which they portrayed Moriori was almost entirely unfavourable. This thesis tests this conclusion. It explores the perspectives of European visitors to the Chatham Islands from 1791 to 1989, when King published Moriori. It does this through an examination of newspapers, Native Land Court minutes, and the writings of missionaries, settlers, and ethnographers. The thesis asks whether or not historians have been selective in their approach to the sources, or if, perhaps, they have ignored the intricacies that may have informed the views of early observers. The thesis argues that during the nineteenth century both Maori and European perspectives influenced the way in which Moriori were portrayed in European narrative.

  • Origins of NZ English
    Origins of NZ English There are three basic theories about the origins of New Zealand English, each with minor variants. Although they are usually presented as alternative theories, they are not necessarily incompatible. The theories are: • New Zealand English is a version of 19th century Cockney (lower-class London) speech; • New Zealand English is a version of Australian English; • New Zealand English developed independently from all other varieties from the mixture of accents and dialects that the Anglophone settlers in New Zealand brought with them. New Zealand as Cockney The idea that New Zealand English is Cockney English derives from the perceptions of English people. People not themselves from London hear some of the same pronunciations in New Zealand that they hear from lower-class Londoners. In particular, some of the vowel sounds are similar. So the vowel sound in a word like pat in both lower-class London English and in New Zealand English makes that word sound like pet to other English people. There is a joke in England that sex is what Londoners get their coal in. That is, the London pronunciation of sacks sounds like sex to other English people. The same joke would work with New Zealanders (and also with South Africans and with Australians, until very recently). Similarly, English people from outside London perceive both the London and the New Zealand versions of the word tie to be like their toy. But while there are undoubted similarities between lower-class London English and New Zealand (and South African and Australian) varieties of English, they are by no means identical.

However, there is little or no academic research in English that addresses this new immigrant population, known as Shin-Issei. This paper investigates how Shin-Issei who live their lives in a complex space between the two nation-states of Japan and the U.S. negotiate their ethnic identity by looking at how these newcomers find a sense of belonging in Southern California in racial, social, and legal terms. Through an ethnographic approach of in-depth interviews and participant observation with six individuals, this case-study expands the available literature on transnationalism by exploring how Shin-Issei negotiations of identities rely on a transnational understandings of national ideologies of belonging which is a less direct form of transnationalism and is a more psychological, symbolic, and emotional reconciliation of self, encompassed between two worlds.

  • Democratization and Electoral Reform
    Comparative Political Studies Volume XX Number X Month XX X-X © Sage Publications Democratization and 10.1177/0010414006299097 http://cps.sagepub.com hosted at Electoral Reform in the http://online.sagepub.com Asia-Pacific Region Is There an “Asian Model” of Democracy? Benjamin Reilly Australian National University During the past two decades, numerous Asia-Pacific states have made the transition to democracy founded on basic political liberties and freely con- tested elections. A little-noticed consequence of this process has been strik- ingly congruent reforms to key political institutions such as electoral systems, political parties, and parliaments. The author argues that, across the region, these reforms have been motivated by common aims of promoting govern- ment stability, reducing political fragmentation, and limiting the potential for new entrants to the party system. As a result, similar strategies of institutional design are evident in the increasing prevalence of “mixed-member majoritar- ian” electoral systems, new political party laws favoring the development of aggregative party systems, and constraints on the enfranchisement of regional or ethnic minorities. Comparing the outcomes of these reforms with those of other world regions, the author argues that there has been an increasing con- vergence on an identifiable “Asian model” of electoral democracy. Keywords: democracy; electoral systems; political parties; Asia-Pacific he closing decades of the 20th century were years of unprecedented Tpolitical reform in the Asia-Pacific region. Major transitions from authoritarian rule to democracy began with the popular uprising against the Marcos regime in the Philippines in 1986 and the negotiated transitions from military-backed, single-party governments in Korea and Taiwan in 1987, moving on to the resumption of civilian government in Thailand in 1992, the UN intervention in Cambodia in 1993, the fall of Indonesia’s Suharto regime in 1998, and the international rehabilitation of East Timor that culminated in 2001.

  • Continuing Relationship Between Kinan Area in Japan and Northern Australia
    The Otemon Journal of Australian Studies, vol. 35, pp. 147−155, 2009 １４７ Migration and Beyond: Continuing relationship between Kinan area in Japan and northern Australia Yuriko Yamanouchi School of Global Studies, Tama University Abstract In most of the migration studies, the focus is on migrants and their descendants. When temporary migrants return to their original country, the effect of their migration to connect their original and receiving countries has not been approached academically. In this research note, I would like to examine the various relationships and ties developed after migration was consid- ered ‘finished’. From the 1870s to 1960s, Japanese migratory workers worked in northern Aus- tralia, namely Thursday Island and Broome, in industries such as pearl shelling. With the out- break of World War II, most of them were interned and eventually deported. However, the ties and relationships they developed through migration have continued and led to another ties and relationships in various ways. By looking at this, I suggest rethinking the framework of ‘migra- tion’ itself. 1. Introduction In most of the migration studies, the focus is on the migrants and their descendants. In cases of temporary migrants such as return migrants, temporary labour migrants and sojourners, the phe- nomenon of migration is often considered to ‘finish’ when the migrants return to their countries of origin on permanent basis, although there has been the research on the ex-migrants after they return to their countries of origin focusing on the issues such as their re-integration into their original so- ciety, usage of remittances, and memory and nostalgia (e.g.

  • Japanese Lifestyle Migrants in Southeast Queensland
    Japanese lifestyle migrants in Southeast Queensland: Narratives of long-term residency, mobility and personal communities Jared Denman BA Honours (Japanese); BEd A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies Abstract Contemporary Japanese migration and overseas residency are being increasingly understood through the lens of lifestyle migration, whereby those who leave Japan prioritise lifestyle factors ahead of other considerations. Studies of Australia’s Japanese communities in particular have tended to focus on such migrants and advance this concept. This study employs biographical- narrative and case study elements to further the study of Japanese lifestyle migration to Australia in two ways. One is by examining cases from a cohort in Southeast Queensland that has yet to be a focus of investigation: those who arrived during the late 1980s and early 1990s, before the transformations of post-bubble Japan. The other is by supplementing existing understandings of Japanese phenomena with an emerging conceptualisation of lifestyle migration in Western Europe. This alternative framework observes that narratives of lifestyle migrants are shaped by themes of escape and pursuit and rhetoric of personal transformation, while also proposing that the act of migration is not a final outcome but is embedded within an ongoing lifestyle trajectory. By analysing participants’ narratives and examining their reasons for migration, their mobility histories and self-defined personal communities, this thesis argues that existing characterisations of the particular cohort and of Japanese lifestyle migrants in general are too narrow. Decisions are not straightforward individual matters framed by escape and pursuit, but can be directed by more complicated individual and household trajectories influenced by a variety of mobility experiences that are not simply geographical.

Crookes Richard W. Schmidt 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to say “Okage sama de” (It is thanks to you) from the bottom of my heart to my mentor, Dr. Diana Eades, without whose guidance, support, and care this study would never have been possible. I would particularly like to express my deepest gratitude for her unlimited patience and thoughtfulness, as well as her invaluable advice, which have encouraged me and helped me to maintain the energy to achieve my goal. I also owe an enormous debt of appreciation to the other thesis committee members, Dr. Richard Schmidt and Dr. Graham Crookes, who have given me insightful comments throughout my study. Their critical suggestions have enabled me to reflect on my work and see it from various points of view, which is essential to a qualitative study. In addition, I am indebted to all the teachers and students who were in JPN 202 and JPN 301 at the time of data collection; they were a great help when I was conducting classroom observations and interviews. I would particularly like to thank the four focal students, without whose support this study would never have been completed. It was always a pleasure to interview them, because I learned many things about their lives and about the Japanese American culture in Hawai‘i that I had not been aware of.

New Zealand meets South Korea: Strategies for film co-productions between two countries A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Screen and Media Studies Department at The University of Waikato by JuHee Kim Year of submission 2017 Abstract This study investigates the state of international film co-productions between New Zealand and South Korea and whether such co-productions are possible, and if so, which modes or types of film co-productions are likely to succeed. The study is framed in the context of the two countries as well as the rapidly changing global marketplace. Increasingly, international film co-productions have gained importance in the film industry paralleling a growing tendency towards cross- border filmmaking. However, the phenomenon of international film co- productions, specifically between New Zealand and South Korea, has not been fully investigated to date.
