    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.

    THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AND ALLIED NAVAL FORCES’ OPERATION WITH THE ANTI-COMMUNIST GUERRILLAS IN THE KOREAN WAR: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE OPERATION ON THE WEST COAST By INSEUNG KIM A dissertation submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the British Commonwealth and Allied Naval forces operation on the west coast during the final two and a half years of the Korean War, particularly focused on their co- operation with the anti-Communist guerrillas. The purpose of this study is to present a more realistic picture of the United Nations (UN) naval forces operation in the west, which has been largely neglected, by analysing their activities in relation to the large number of irregular forces. This thesis shows that, even though it was often difficult and frustrating, working with the irregular groups was both strategically and operationally essential to the conduct of the war, and this naval-guerrilla relationship was of major importance during the latter part of the naval campaign.

    Cabinet Office Proactive release of information about management of ministerial conflicts of interest 1 October 2016 – 30 September 2017 Explanatory note 1 The table below is a summary of actions taken by Ministers during the period 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017 in order to manage actual or potential conflicts of interest. It includes transfers of responsibility to other Ministers and standing arrangements not to receive Cabinet papers. Other steps for managing conflicts of interest set out at paragraph 2.74 of the Cabinet Manual (such as declarations of interest, and ad hoc or short term arrangements not to receive papers) are not included. 2 The Office of the Ombudsman has reviewed this summary and confirmed that it is consistent with the more detailed record held by the Cabinet Office. 3 The actions listed in the table are standing arrangements, and may cover multiple instances when responsibility was exercised by another Minister or papers were not received. It is also possible that there have been no such instances, because the particular issue has not arisen in practice. The table only includes new arrangements put in place in the period 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017, and is not a full summary of all transfers of responsibility and arrangements not to receive papers that have been made or are currently in place. 4 The nature of each actual or potential conflict of interest is described using the following categories: • Pecuniary: relating to a Minister’s personal financial interests such as assets, debts and gifts • Personal: relating to a Minister’s non-financial personal interests, such as family, whānau or close associates, former employment and business activities, and (in certain limited circumstances) current and past involvement with specific organisations • Portfolio: relating to different aspects of a Minister’s official responsibilities • Constituency: relating to a Minister’s role as a member of Parliament.
