  • IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS New Zealand Selected Political and Economic Issues
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS New Zealand Selected political and economic issues Author: Roberto BENDINI Abstract For many years New Zealand appeared an essentially European country located in the midst of the Pacific Ocean, some 15 000 kilometres from Europe. Yet in recent decades the country has welcomed significant numbers of Asian immigrants and integrated its economy with the emerging economies of its Asian neighbours, and notably China. Recent elections secured another three-year mandate for a coalition of centre-right parties. Led by Prime Minister John Key, the government is expected to further promote investment and adopt business-friendly measures in the upcoming term. With an active foreign policy – especially in the Asia-Pacific region – the country has often participated in UN-led or international peacekeeping missions. New Zealand's upright reputation earned the country a non-permanent seat in the UN Security Council for the period 2015- 2017. Relations with the EU are good despite declining bilateral trade and the country's growing focus on the Asia Pacific region. In 2014 the EU and New Zealand successfully concluded negotiations for a Framework Agreement. Free trade agreement talks may be opened later this year.

  • New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States Name Redacted Specialist in Asian Affairs
    New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States name redacted Specialist in Asian Affairs June 29, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44552 New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States Summary New Zealand is a close partner of the United States and welcomes a U.S. presence in the Asia- Pacific region. New Zealand and the United States engage each other across a broad spectrum of policy areas, including countering Islamist extremism, South Pacific regional issues, intelligence cooperation, the Trans- Pacific Partnership (TPP), and Antarctica. Issues for Congress related to New Zealand, therefore, include oversight and appropriations related to international security cooperation, counterterrorism (CT) and countering violent extremism (CVE), intelligence cooperation among the so-called “Five Eyes” nations, which include New Zealand, and TPP. U.S.–New Zealand ties are bolstered by shared cultural traditions and values as well as on common interests. New Zealand is a stable and active democracy that supports liberalizing trade in the Asia-Pacific region. New Zealand also has a history of fighting alongside the United States in major conflicts including World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. New Zealand is a regular contributor to international peace and stability operations and has contributed troops to fight militant Islamists in Afghanistan, where New Zealand had a Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Bamiyan Province, and more recently in Iraq where it is training Iraqi military personnel. As a small nation, New Zealand supports a rules based international order, collective approaches to promote stability and the peaceful resolution of disputes.

  • A Transcript of Prime Minister John Key's Speech to the Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce Function, 2Nd July 2015. Good
    A transcript of Prime Minister John Key's speech to the Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce function, 2nd July 2015. Good afternoon. Thank you Peter for that warm welcome and for the Chamber's hosting of this event. It's good to see so many of you here today. Can I start by acknowledging Mayor Lianne Dalziel and other local body representatives from around the region. Just as central government has to make some tough decisions and trade-offs, so too do councils as we work together to rebuild this city. Together, we're making significant progress. Although, of course, there is still much to do. I'd also like to acknowledge my ministerial colleagues Gerry Brownlee, Amy Adams and Nicky Wagner. Gerry has provided strong leadership in overseeing what continues to be one of New Zealand's largest and most complex undertakings. Most recently he has been turning his mind to where we go following the expiry of the special earthquake recovery laws next April. I'll have some more to say about that in a few minutes. As we've said before, the estimated cost of the rebuild is around $40 billion. As a proportion of the economy, this makes it one of the most expensive natural disasters in the developed world. So thanks to all of you here who have worked so hard since the first earthquake in September 2010. I want to start today by talking about the economy and the significant contribution Canterbury makes to it. A strong and growing economy allows us to provide essential public services like hospitals and schools, and support our most vulnerable families.

  • China's Political Influence Activities Under Xi Jinping Professor
    Magic Weapons: China's political influence activities under Xi Jinping Professor Anne-Marie Brady Global Fellow, Wilson Center, Washington, DC; Department of Political Science and International Relations University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand In September 2014 Xi Jinping gave a speech on the importance of united front work— political influence activities—calling it one of the CCP’s “magic weapons”. The Chinese government’s foreign influence activities have accelerated under Xi. China’s foreign influence activities have the potential to undermine the sovereignty and integrity of the political system of targeted states. Conference paper presented at the conference on “The corrosion of democracy under China’s global influence,” supported by the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, and hosted in Arlington, Virginia, USA, September 16-17, 2017. Key points: • CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping is leading an accelerated expansion of political influence activities worldwide. • The expansion of these activities is connected to both the CCP government’s domestic pressures and foreign agenda. • The paper creates a template of the policies and modes of China’s expanded foreign influence activities in the Xi era. • The paper uses this template to examine the extent to which one representative small state, New Zealand, is being targeted by China’s new influence agenda. Executive Summary In June 2017 the New York Times and The Economist featured stories on China's political influence in Australia. The New York Times headline asked "Are Australia's Politics too Easy to Corrupt?,"1 while The Economist sarcastically referred to China as the "Meddle Country."2 The two articles were reacting to an investigation by Fairfax Media and ABC into the extent of China's political interference in Australia,3 that built on internal enquiries into the same issue by ASIO and Australia's Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet in 2015 and 2016.

  • What Makes a Good Prime Minister of New Zealand? | 1 Mcguinness Institute Nation Voices Essay Competition
    NATION VOICES ESSAY COMPETITION What makes a good About the author Brad is studying towards a BCom/ Prime Minister of BA majoring in Economics, Public Policy, International New Zealand? Relations and Political Science. He is a 2016 Brad Olsen Queen’s Young Leader for New Zealand after his work with territorial authorities, central government organizations and NGOs. He’s passionate about youth voice and youth participation in wider society. Leadership is a complex concept, necessitating vast amounts of patience, determination, and passion to work with others towards a position of improvement in the chosen field of expertise or service. Leaders not only bear the burden of setting the direction of actions or inactions for their team, but are also often accountable to stakeholders, with varying degrees of accountability and size of the cohort to which a leader is accountable. However, there is no more complex job in existence than the leadership of a country like New Zealand — this burden falls squarely on the Prime Minister, in charge of policy both foreign and domestic, all the while totally accountable to each and every citizen in his or her realm. Unsurprisingly, some make a better fist of it than others, with the essence of this good leadership a highly sought commodity. Three areas are critical to ensuring a Prime Minister can effectively lead — a measurement of how ‘good’ they are at their job — these fall under the umbrellas of political, social, and economic leadership ability. Politically, Prime Ministers must have foreign credibility, alongside the ability to form a cohesive support team. Socially a Prime Minster must not only recognize and promote popular ideas, but must also be relatable in part to the people.
