  • 'The Land with the Midas Touch'
    New Zealand Journal of History, 52, 2 (2018) ‘The Land with the Midas Touch’ BRITISH PERCEPTIONS OF NEW ZEALAND, 1935–1979 THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES, first and foremost, the ways in which ideas about social reform and its practice in mid-twentieth-century New Zealand were adopted or adapted by British proponents of more ‘advanced’ social legislation. Building on the example of the country’s Liberal administrations in the early part of the twentieth century, the Dominion’s first Labour government, elected in 1935, proved instructive to the Labour Party in Britain, in the mid- 1930s an organization with little immediate hope of a return to government. Admiration became tempered in the post-war era, however, as an increasing perception developed, not least among academics and commentators both outside and inside New Zealand, that the country’s society had ‘stalled’ and that its historic role as a ‘social laboratory’ was in doubt. It is worth stressing too that, even when British perceptions were at their most positive, British commentators were for the most part concerned with the ‘settler’ population. The practical relationship between Britain and New Zealand had also begun to change by the 1960s with, on the one hand, the Dominion becoming more oriented to its Pacific neighbours and, on the other, Britain shedding Commonwealth links in search of closer European integration. As David Capie notes, although the bonds between the two countries were strong in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, nonetheless there was, for New Zealand, a ‘postwar shift from a Commonwealth to an American- led security order’.
