Its target audience was students attending courses in New Zealand History but it has been used by many other people since its first appearance. To date, the various editions have appeared in print with a variety of green covers (hence the name) illustrating different aspects of New Zealand life and history. The guide no longer appears in print but is available to participants of several courses offered by the University’s Department of History through moodle and to others as a web document available through a link in the Library Catalogue. The Guide has never pretended to be a comprehensive and exhaustive listing of works related to New Zealand History. Instead, it attempts to provide a broad introduction to the many strands that make up that history. The core of the Guide is made up of definitive (and timeless) works to which are added a selection of new titles which represent the latest research, trends and opinions. Originally, the Guide only listed traditional published material but gradually the print forms have been supplemented by and now, in some cases, superseded by online versions. The Guide now offers a blend of the two. This edition of the Green Guide has been revised in March 2019 by Jane Goodbehere on behalf of the New Zealand Collection and the University of Waikato History Department staff. Suggestions for improvements and alterations would be appreciated. Please advise any of the New Zealand Collection staff listed above. Illustration from E.

  • Regional Variation in New Zealand English Is Something of a Conundrum
    Regional variation in NZ English Regional variation in New Zealand English is something of a conundrum. Although a dialect of the Southland/Otago region is well-known and documented (Bartlett 1992, 2003; Hay, Maclagan and Gordon 2008), linguists have yet to find concrete evidence of other regional New Zealand English dialects. Yet the general New Zealand public are often adamant that there are regional differences in how New Zealand English is spoken. Folklinguistic evidence of regional variation Studies dealing with societal attitudes towards and beliefs about a language are called folklinguistic studies. Folklinguistic studies (Gordon 1997; Nielsen and Hay 2005) show that New Zealanders do tend to believe that there are regional differences in New Zealand English but, when asked to provide information about these differences, comments usually refer to characteristics of the region or the people living in the region rather than aspects of the language itself. For example, a study by Nielsen and Hay (2005) invited University students to rate their perceptions of New Zealand English in different regions according to its ‘pleasantness' and 'correctness' and to annotate a map of New Zealand with comments about speech in different regions. Although regions were rated differently, the ratings appeared to be based on stereotypes of the regions in question, rather than on any identifiable linguistic differences. People tended to rate their own region more highly for pleasantness and correctness and notes on the map mainly consisted of stereotypical descriptions such as ‘official’ for Wellington and ‘farmer speech’ for Taranaki. This inability to identify specific linguistic features that differ from one geographical area to the next stands in contrast to New Zealanders’ awareness of a ‘rolled’, or rather postvocalic /r/, in Southland.

    Lecturer PhD Petronela SCUTARIU “Ștefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, Faculty of Law and Administration Sciences, Suceava, Romania [email protected] Student Liviu Otniel FEDUR “Ștefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, Faculty of Law and Administration Sciences, Suceava, Romania Android Developer, Protovate LLC, Hickory, North Carolina, USA Director, Livtech Soft SRL, Suceava, Romania [email protected] Abstract: The parallel examination of different states with their government systems is, was and will always be a necessary inurement for their in-depth knowledge and for the discovery of generalized orientations and developments. Regarding this affirmation, in the present article we intend to analyze from a comparative perspective two administrative systems, one from New Zealand and the other from South Africa, to identify the particularities in their organization and the way of functioning and to determine the similarities and differences between them. This research begins with the presentation of main identification data of the states, namely etymological explanations, continuing with the geographical locations and ending with the national emblems and flags. Afterwards, the present study provides insights into the genesis of the mentioned states, presenting brief historical records of how they appeared and developed. According to administrative-territorial organization criteria, New Zealand is divided into non-unitary and unitary regions, containing a territory as well, while South Africa is divided into provinces which, in turn, are divided into districts that are subdivided into local municipalities. From the point of view of the form of government, New Zealand is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy, while South Africa is a unitary parliamentary republic with an executive presidency.

    United Nations A/HRC/18/35/Add.4 General Assembly Distr.: General 31 May 2011 Original: English Human Rights Council Eighteenth session Agenda item 3 Promotion and protection of all human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development Report of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, James Anaya Addendum The situation of Maori people in New Zealand∗ Summary In the present report, which has been updated since the advance unedited version was made public on 17 February 2011, the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples examines the situation of Maori people in New Zealand on the basis of information received during his visit to the country from 18-23 July 2010 and independent research. The visit was carried out in follow-up to the 2005 visit of the previous Special Rapporteur, Rodolfo Stavenhagen. The principal focus of the report is an examination of the process for settling historical and contemporary claims based on the Treaty of Waitangi, although other key issues are also addressed. Especially in recent years, New Zealand has made significant strides to advance the rights of Maori people and to address concerns raised by the former Special Rapporteur. These include New Zealand’s expression of support for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, its steps to repeal and reform the 2004 Foreshore and Seabed Act, and its efforts to carry out a constitutional review process with respect to issues related to Maori people. Further efforts to advance Maori rights should be consolidated and strengthened, and the Special Rapporteur will continue to monitor developments in this regard.

  • Bicameralism in the New Zealand Context
    377 Bicameralism in the New Zealand context Andrew Stockley* In 1985, the newly elected Labour Government issued a White Paper proposing a Bill of Rights for New Zealand. One of the arguments in favour of the proposal is that New Zealand has only a one chamber Parliament and as a consequence there is less control over the executive than is desirable. The upper house, the Legislative Council, was abolished in 1951 and, despite various enquiries, has never been replaced. In this article, the writer calls for a reappraisal of the need for a second chamber. He argues that a second chamber could be one means among others of limiting the power of government. It is essential that a second chamber be independent, self-confident and sufficiently free of party politics. I. AN INTRODUCTION TO BICAMERALISM In 1950, the New Zealand Parliament, in the manner and form it was then constituted, altered its own composition. The legislative branch of government in New Zealand had hitherto been bicameral in nature, consisting of an upper chamber, the Legislative Council, and a lower chamber, the House of Representatives.*1 Some ninety-eight years after its inception2 however, the New Zealand legislature became unicameral. The Legislative Council Abolition Act 1950, passed by both chambers, did as its name implied, and abolished the Legislative Council as on 1 January 1951. What was perhaps most remarkable about this transformation from bicameral to unicameral government was the almost casual manner in which it occurred. The abolition bill was carried on a voice vote in the House of Representatives; very little excitement or concern was caused among the populace at large; and government as a whole seemed to continue quite normally.

The New Zealand Census–Mortality Study: Socioeconomic inequalities and adult mortality 1991–94. Wellington: Ministry of Health, 2002. This document is available on the Ministry of Health’s website: http://www.moh.govt.nz/phi and the NZCMS website: http:/www.wnmeds.ac.nz/nzcms-info.html Foreword The New Zealand Census - Mortality Study (NZCMS) is the principal instrument by which the Ministry of Health monitors social inequalities in health. This report provides the technical background to the study, as well as illustrative substantive results. The NZCMS is hosted by the Wellington School of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Otago, and is led by Dr Tony Blakely. The study has been funded by the Health Research Council since 1998, and co-funded by the Ministry of Health since 2001. The study involves anonymous and probabilistic linkage of census and mortality records, thereby creating cohort (or follow-up) studies of the entire New Zealand population for the three years following each census. The NZCMS is conducted in conjunction with Statistics New Zealand. The linking of the two datasets was undertaken by Statistics New Zealand staff, and access to the linked data was provided by Statistics New Zealand under conditions designed to give effect to the security and confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act 1975. As a census-based cohort study, the NZCMS offers several advantages over other study designs: • direct linkage of exposures to outcomes at the individual level • rich exposure data • great statistical power (because of the large ‘sample’ size).

  • Case Study: New Zealand
    Case Study: New Zealand Background Because of its geographic location, its dependence on tourism, and the absence of a comprehensive rail network, New Zealand has developed a large international and national airports network over the years. Until 1966, almost all New Zealand important airports were developed by the State and remained under the central Government ownership and management. There are three main international airports. First, Auckland Airport is the busiest and the main international airport. It is the only airport serving the Auckland metropolitan area, which gathers a third of the country’s total population. Second, Wellington International Airport is also a major domestic hub serving mainly business and government. International flights at Wellington Airport are principally from/to Australia. Third, Christchurch International Airport is the major international airport in the South Island, where it acts as the main hub and attracts a significant share of New Zealand’s international tourist traffic. There are other international airports in New Zealand, such as Dunedin, Hamilton, Queenstown, and Palmerston North, which also get flights from other countries (mainly Australia). Other commercial airports serve domestic and regional traffic. Commercialization/privatization: Airports The commercialization of New Zealand’s airports started early. First, the 1961 Joint Airport Scheme established the principles that resulted in both central and local governments jointly owning and operating airport facilities. The objective of this policy was both to benefit from the expertise of local governments on regional economic needs and opportunities, and to make local government directly invest in airport infrastructure. In 1974, 24 airports throughout New Zealand were under a joint venture ownership.
