▼ This autobiographical/collective biographical research examines the ways that the multigenerational (m/g) household contributes to the development of societal and collective values around Samoan aiga in Aotearoa/New Zealand. There are several global trends impacting on Aotearoa/New Zealand. These trends include but are not exclusive to the housing shortage, an ageing population coupled with longer life expectancies, and the on-going impact of the global recession. Multigenerational households are the norm in collective societies such as traditional Samoan society, in Aotearoa the multigenerational household is an anomaly. Policy design does not necessarily include the multigenerational household during the inception process of policy relating to aiga. Through the exclusion of the multigenerational household in the consideration of policy the strengths and potential that the multigenerational households have to offer Aotearoa are not fully explored or supported. The research explored whether Samoan participants felt that living in the multigenerational household in Aotearoa is a valuable experience and how they felt that their life realities are received by peers and colleagues as a positive life experience. What was found is that attitude towards the living situation had a profound impact with regards to how the individual assessed their experience within the multigenerational household, even though in some cases upon reflection participants felt that they enjoyed many advantages in the multigenerational household that are no longer available to them. Through this autobiographical/collective biographical research project narratives and life stories were shared discussing such issues as shared parenting and child care, transference of knowledge such as culture, religion, spirituality and parenting skills. Through the narratives/biographies of the participants it was found that there is potential within the multigenerational household that if supported can possibly provide services that currently fall upon the State.

▼ In response to long-term mass violence in southern Thailand, the Thai government set up the 12th Mental Health Centre (the key site of this study) in 2004 for mental health healing and rehabilitation, and to provide various mental health programmes for affected groups. This case study examines how those programmes were planned, implemented, and evaluated between 2004 and 2014. The successes and challenges of mental health communication programme delivery in such a situation were also identified. The development of Centre 12’s programme reflects different but interrelated policy shifts: the reactive programme (2004–2005); the targeted groups policy (2005–2010); the general age-group targets (2011–2014); and the emerging phase of severe and complicated cases (2014 on). Key findings showed four stages in Centre 12’s programme framework: planning, media/message development, implementation, and evaluation. Within these phases, Centre 12 largely focused on media/message development, reflecting the nature of the public relations work force in Thailand and concern with religion differences. Print materials were verified by experts and media were produced with cultural sensitivity. Religious-based booklets were deemed noteworthy because of the participatory process in media production, testing, and refinement. Interpersonal and group communications were the main delivery channels. Additionally, training programmes for deliverer groups such as public health practitioners, community leaders, religious leaders, teachers, and radio DJs were crucial because these groups were trusted by local people and could reduce suspicion. Programme evaluation was a significant challenge, shown in Centre 12’s difficulties measuring programme outcomes, impacts, and knowledge utilisation. The Centre 12 case also contains some lessons in delivery in a mass violence situation: mental health communication programmes should focus on community-based approaches and coordinate with community partners, informal, flexible styles of partnership are most suitable for uncertain situations, and programme deliverers need to be concerned with cultural sensitivities. Last, leadership is an important factor for disaster management; however, organisations should set a system of recovery rather than rely on an individual leader. This case study considers wider implications for the government, campaign planners, communication and health communication scholars and practitioners, and those facing similar circumstances in the current unstable geopolitical environment.

▼ Archaeology is often presented as holding the key to understanding our collective ancestry, and yet the dominant form of archaeological work in the western world today is not guided by theory or driven by enquiry; it is primarily concerned with regulatory compliance requirements arising in the context of land or resource development. Archaeology policy implemented in this context is premised on a vague sense that public benefit that arises when archaeological resources are protected in the face of development. The public is not the sole beneficiary, however, as developers, archaeologists, and the state also benefit. These beneficiaries are connected within networks of interaction not centred on archaeological practice, but in this interaction they contribute to policy implementation, and through this they shape archaeological practice. In this thesis, I explore the consequences of implementing archaeology policy through a network of actors that includes non-archaeological interests. In this thesis, I focus on archaeology policy from Ontario, Canada, and review archaeology policy implementation from three directions. Documented policy is used to identify the stated policy intent and the rules for implementation. These documents include statutes, regulations, and manuals, as well as documents clarifying or detailing implementation direction. These objectives are considered in relation to actual implementation practice, as revealed in open-ended interviews with public sector actors involved in archaeology policy implementation. Finally, this information is triangulated using my own experience in Ontario archaeology. The organising theory for this research is Schattschneider’s (1960) conflict theory of politics. The theory posits that political contests, which I extend to include policy implementation, become destabilised when the scope of participation expands. As implementation contests become destabilised, the nature of the contest, and implementation objectives change. This can mean that the direction of implementation may shift from stated policy objectives to new objectives determined in the interaction of the implementing actors. In this thesis, I extend this theory further using insights from actor-network theory to admit policy documents as (textual) participants. These textual actors influence implementation by drawing new associations among participants, and at times by representing and displacing the actors who deployed them initially. Using three case studies, I trace how implementing actors attempt to make strategic use of scope, either to expand policy application, reduce obligations, or to create a better fit between archaeology policy and other organisational functions. Intermediary policy documents are often critical in these local contests as they can be mobilised in support of private interests, or used strategically to distance central actors from local negotiations. This research builds on the enduring insight of Schattschneider’s theory of politics, and demonstrates its…

▼ Into the late 1990s the international community began to develop new methods for assisting fragile states. It was recognised that development principles and practice were often insufficient to resolve the ‘complex operations’ they were entering. This was especially true when engaging states that lacked either the political commitment or the practical capacity to deliver basic social and public services. The defining feature of these operations is that assistance is required across all pillars of civil society – economic, law and justice, governance and public administration. Without effectively addressing each of these pillars there is a significant risk of systemic failure. A key challenge of engagement across these pillars is coordinating the growing number of contributions – both civilian and military. The whole-of-government approach has been promoted as a method to ameliorate this challenge. It is argued that the approach reduces departmental silos, promotes policy coherence, and provides efficiency while better addressing the complexity of the operating environment. While this may be true, the rhetoric is ill-defined and generates confusion as to what it means at a practical level. In short, it remains unclear how to achieve an efficient and effective whole-of-government approach or what that would actually look like. This thesis examines this dilemma and identifies the factors for successful implementation of New Zealand’s whole-of-government approach to peace support operations. Rather than concentrating on the formerly popular ‘machinery of government’ changes, this thesis argues that there are three overarching factors when implementing a whole-of-government approach. The first requirement is strategic direction from Government. This should come in the form of a national security statement and subsidiary individual country strategies. The second is culture change across the public sector. This focuses on the ‘soft issues’ such as organisational cultures, values and routines, professional beliefs, as well as institutional values and preferences. Significantly for peace support operations, this must be extended to promote a culture of education and awareness of host nation history and society. The third factor is accurate and flexible performance indicators and measurement to ensure that success can be identified and achieved. Effective execution of these factors will add value and promote excellence in New Zealand’s peace support operations. Advisors/Committee Members: Ayson, Robert.

▼ Objective: To assess drinking patterns and alcohol-related harms among young people in the context of substantial liberalising alcohol policy change in New Zealand. Five studies were developed to address this objective which assessed: (i) trends in drinking patterns, alcohol-related problems and harms during the time of the liberalising policy change and (ii) specific policy changes relevant to young people in New Zealand: the lowering of the minimum purchase age, the introduction of ready to drinks and alcohol outlet density (alcohol outlets had proliferated due to the relaxation of the liquor licensing system). Methods: General population alcohol surveys and routinely collected harms datasets were utilised. Survey measures were: typical occasion quantity, drinking frequency, heavier drinking, self-reported drunkenness, alcohol-related problems and individual demographic measures. Harms measures included: prosecutions for disorder offending, prosecutions for driving with excess breath alcohol, alcohol-involved crashes (all and fatal) and individual demographic measures. Analysis techniques utilised in Studies One through Five were as follows: quantile regression, general linear models, broken stick Poisson regression, logistic regression (and analysis of variance) and multi-level modelling. When possible the wider New Zealand population was considered in relation to young people. Young people were defined as those up to 24 years of age (inclusive). Results: In the context of alcohol policy liberalisation young people, and in particular teenagers, were observed to experience the greatest increases in typical occasion quantities, alcohol-related problems and harms relative to other groups in the New Zealand population. Specific liberalising policy contexts relevant to young people, including the lowering of the minimum purchase age, ready to drinks and alcohol outlet density were also associated with increased quantities consumed or increased harms among teenagers. Conclusion: The public health problem of increased alcohol consumption and related harms among young people in New Zealand can be reduced. It will, however, take effective restrictive alcohol policy controls to achieve this.

▼ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Prime Minister has committed government to increasing the consideration of wellbeing across all policy, with an expectation that policy processes and priorities will evolve to better achieve wellbeing outcomes and enable greater governmental accountability for those outcomes. The policy infrastructure supporting this commitment is under development, and arguably includes four key initiatives at this time: • The Living Standards Framework (LSF), which aims to provide a high level framework for measuring and analysing intergenerational wellbeing; • Whānau Ora outcomes, which aim to articulate dimensions of Māori wellbeing and that Te Puni Kōkiri has recommended an overlay of the LSF; • Indicators Aotearoa, led by Statistics New Zealand, which aims to identify a comprehensive suite of wellbeing indicators; • Various departmental and issue specific approaches to identifying the dimensions of wellbeing, many of which include a distinct or integrated reflection of tikanga Māori. It appears these four types of work are being progressed in parallel, with less than optimal co-ordination between the work streams, as well as ambiguity about the respective objectives and potential operation of the frameworks. This report aims to provide a view on a potential relationship between the prominent frameworks: the LSF, Whānau Ora and He Ara Waiora. He Ara Waiora emerged as an issue specific wellbeing framework, specific to the tax system, but has since evolved into a framework that aims to reflect a mātauranga Māori sourced approach to the concept of wellbeing that can be implemented as a comprehensive framework to measure and analyse intergenerational wellbeing. The report argues that while all three frameworks have merit as a way of understanding, measuring and analysing wellbeing, we believe there should be consideration of using He Ara Waiora as the parent framework that the LSF, Whānau Ora and Indicators Aotearoa are integrated within. Our rationale includes: • That the LSF, while it is supported by OECD precedents, has a reductive and fragmentary approach to identifying the dimensions of wellbeing. We consider a framework that provides aspirational direction, while also including practicable elements to guide policy development, is preferrable. • We consider that He Ara Waiora provides such direction to the concept of wellbeing, and importantly, provides guidance as to the inter-relationship between the dimensions of wellbeing. • We strongly emphasise that it is not possible to retain the integrity of mātauranga based approaches to wellbeing if the LSF is the parent framework, due to the inherent relationality within mātauranga that the LSF will inevitably and improperly disaggregate. • We also recognise that adopting He Ara Waiora as a parent framework for wellbeing would be a bold step for Aotearoa New Zealand, but we consider that if carefully approached it would be of high value to all New Zealanders. We also note that He Ara Waiora is currently an incomplete…

▼ Deer farming in New Zealand has been developed for about 25 years, with about 1.3 million deer being currently farmed. Knowledge of deer health and production has been acquired from experimentation in research stations and from field experience, but until now there has been limited research data from commercial farms. Little was known about the relative importance of a range of management practices, farm or animal characteristics, and how they related to deer health and production. "Herd health and production profiling" is a tool for studying complex systems such as pastoral farming. This is the first time this technique has been used for the study of deer farming. It is a longitudinal observational study with an holistic epidemiological approach. It involves gathering a variety of relevant information about the whole farm which is analysed by advanced multivariable statistical techniques at farm, herd or mob, or individual animal levels. The present study aimed to explore the health and production results from selected red deer farms; to investigate risk factors associated with the most important performance outcomes, and to identify the most relevant fields for further research. This study involved observations from commercial red deer farms in the lower part of the North island of New Zealand, and was conducted over two years beginning in March 1992. Potential participating farmers were solicited by mail questionnaire. Fifteen with the appropriate stock and facilities were selected after farm visits. Farm characteristics were recorded by direct measurements or by questionnaires. Farm layout was mapped. Each deer paddock was described with characteristics such as area, topography, water supply, type of fence, shelter, exposure to wind, pasture type and weeds recorded. Deer were identified by sex (hinds or stags) and age (weaners, yearlings or adults). About 2700 hinds, 2400 weaner deer and 1500 stags were individually monitored each year. Farmers recorded daily farm management practices such as grazing management, mating and calving management, handling and disease control; individual deer data such as rearing performance of hinds, bodyweight, velvet antler grade and weight; health problems and weather data. Post-mortem investigations were conducted by researchers, local veterinarians or farmers themselves. Farm visits were scheduled in March, June, September and November to record information and collect samples with additional visits as required. Body measurements were recorded, and blood and faeces samples were collected from 30 selected deer of both sex and three age categories per farm. Pasture and soil samples were collected and measurements were taken for each paddock. A body condition scoring (BCS) system was devised, and hinds scored in March before mating, September before calving and in March of the next year at weaning. All hinds mated were pregnancy tested by rectal ultrasound during the June visit and pregnant hinds were classified as having conceived before or after May 1. Blood on EDTA was analysed…

▼ Background: Climate change is a global threat to health and wellbeing. Here we provide findings of an international research project investigating the health and wellbeing impacts of policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in urban environments. Methods: Five European and two Chinese city authorities and partner academic organisations formed the project consortium. The methodology involved modelling the impact of adopted urban climate-change mitigation transport, buildings and energy policy scenarios, usually for the year 2020 and comparing them with business as usual (BAU) scenarios (where policies had not been adopted). Carbon dioxide emissions, health impacting exposures (air pollution, noise and physical activity), health (cardiovascular, respiratory, cancer and leukaemia) and wellbeing (including noise related wellbeing, overall wellbeing, economic wellbeing and inequalities) were modelled. The scenarios were developed from corresponding known levels in 2010 and pre-existing exposure response functions. Additionally there were literature reviews, three longitudinal observational studies and two cross sectional surveys. Results: There are four key findings. Firstly introduction of electric cars may confer some small health benefits but it would be unwise for a city to invest in electric vehicles unless their power generation fuel mix generates fewer emissions than petrol and diesel. Second, adopting policies to reduce private car use may have benefits for carbon dioxide reduction and positive health impacts through reduced noise and increased physical activity. Third, the benefits of carbon dioxide reduction from increasing housing efficiency are likely to be minor and co-benefits for health and wellbeing are dependent on good air exchange. Fourthly, although heating dwellings by in-home biomass burning may reduce carbon dioxide emissions, consequences for health and wellbeing were negative with the technology in use in the cities studied. Conclusions: The climate-change reduction policies reduced CO2 emissions (the most common greenhouse gas) from cities but impact on global emissions of CO2 would be more limited due to some displacement of emissions. The health and wellbeing impacts varied and were often limited reflecting existing relatively high quality of life and environmental standards in most of the participating cities; the greatest potential for future health benefit occurs in less developed or developing countries.

▼ Creating ecologically sustainable ways of life is desirable, necessary, and urgent for the collective future of life on Earth. Although this is acknowledged, aspired to, and increasingly pursued in action, broad-scale sustainability remains unrealised. Western cities offer a strategic place to exemplify and accelerate global sustainability transitions. Such cities are characterised by dense human populations with excessive per capita resource use, but they can also be cornucopias of economic development, progressive politics, and diverse culture and correspondingly act at global hotspots of innovation and change. This exploratory research proposes pragmatic backcasted pathways for furthering such change, constructing future visions of more sustainable ways of life in Western cities, identifying presentday barriers to realising these, and generating practical solutions ‘here and now’ that could contribute strategically to overcoming the barriers, towards a sustainable future. An insight and foresight rich distillation of evidence-based knowledge and practical experience was generated to inform these pathways, through qualitative interviews with 25 esteemed experts specialising in fields of socio-ecology and cities, including planning, design, sociology, psychology, philosophy, art, activism, economics, and government. To analyse this data and conceptualise alternative pathways, ‘ecological habitus’, an emergent socio-ecological theory, was developed and employed as a practical framework for conceptually linking broad-scale socio-ecological issues with everyday practice; analysing the inter-dependent variables (e.g. normative, material, social, and psychological) of social reproduction and change; and assessing their sustainability at different scales (e.g. individual and institutional). Two components were added to the theory: ‘natural capital’ (the ecological/biophysical factors within socio-ecological relationships), and ‘ecological reflexivity’ (people’s responses to natural capital whether intentional-critical, periodic-conscious, or routine-subconscious). These enhance ecological habitus as a versatile tool for socio-ecological and sustainability-transition research. The ultimate research outcomes are three backcasted pathways towards a future of ‘sustainable ecological habitus’, which could begin pragmatically with: collaborative practice among city authorities to develop as ecologically-reflexive sustainability leaders and overcome disciplinary silos; strategic enrichment of cities with accessible, place-based natural capital to enhance humannature connection; and everyday self-, or socially-directed sustainability micro-interventions among city-dwellers, to incrementally grow mainstream sustainable ecological habitus. These actions combined could accelerate sustainable ecological habitus in Western cities and beyond. The power is ours.

▼ This thesis critically analyses the organisation and practice of climate change governance in New Zealand. Grounded in neo-Marxist state theory, the research identifies and deconstructs the political and economic structures that have shaped New Zealand’s policy response to climate change from 1988 to 2012. The fourth Labour Government, acting in response to the emergent threat of anthropogenic climate change, initiated New Zealand’s Climate Change Programme (NZ CCP). Subsequent governments persevered with the NZ CCP; effecting a relatively continuous pattern of minimal interventionist and least cost policy change. This culminated in late 2008, with the passage of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) – a comprehensive, all sector economic instrument that would impose a price on domestic greenhouse gases. Despite this policy change, the NZ CCP has failed as an ameliorative response to climate change. Between 1990 and 2012, New Zealand’s gross emissions increased by 21 percent. Furthermore, there has been little evidence to suggest that the response has encouraged either afforestation or greater investment in renewable energy. To this point, little progress has been made in decarbonising New Zealand’s economy. Using Marxian systems-analysis, the research treats this pattern of policy change as a case study of policy breakdown and dysfunctional governance. The predominant (and ineffectual) mode of governance practiced in New Zealand is argued an outcome of the contradictory structural dynamics of New Zealand’s capitalist state. In the first instance, the state is functionally obliged to develop remedial climate change policy in response to the existential threat of climate change. This involves the formulation of policy that directly intervenes in New Zealand’s productive sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, in the second instance, the state is constrained in its policy-making activities by the systemic logic of capital. This precludes the formulation of authoritative interventionist policy capable of effecting behavioural changes in carbon-intensive actors. Moreover, the capitalist biases of New Zealand’s climate change response precipitate legitimation crises, further undermining the state’s ability to drive mitigation and adaptation efforts. Policy change wrought between discordant systemic imperatives is invariably subject to policy breakdown. As this dysfunction is structural in nature, the thesis argues that modern capitalist states cannot practice a meaningful politics of climate change.

▼ Poor nutrition and unhealthy weight are major contributors to disease burden in New Zealand. As part of wider government action to address these issues, District Health Boards were funded to administer Nutrition Fund grants to schools and early childhood education services. This thesis examines the implementation of the Nutrition Fund between January 2007 and June 2009 in order to understand the processes that were used, whether government direction was followed, and what benefits projects delivered. The data sources for the research were largely qualitative. Thematic analysis of interview material with staff from three District Health Boards, and nine schools and early childhood education services provided the main focus for the thesis. In addition, key Ministry of Health and District Health Board documents were examined, and a descriptive statistical analysis was completed using national grant data. The findings of the research show that the Nutrition Fund was implemented within the guidelines provided by central government, and was able to deliver a variety of successful projects in schools and early childhood education services. This was possible due to the development of an effective, multi-layered co-ordination network that was constructed using both formal and informal mechanisms. In this network, District Health Board staff mediated between central government and local communities to construct Nutrition Fund projects that met local needs as well as government requirements. The research is located within the literatures on health promotion, policy implementation, and evaluation. It contributes to understandings of the processes involved in policy implementation, and illustrates the potential for central government to catalyse local level action through grant schemes. The research supports health promotion in education settings. Further resource investment and curriculum development is recommended in order to maximise this potential.

▼ As the role of local people in natural resource management continues to be recognized in global conservation interventions, so too does the need to understand the perspectives of local people towards various resource management practices. This study examines local perceptions in Tuvalu towards traditional versus modern resource management practices, and furthermore assesses compliance and enforcement with protected areas village rules or legislation at the community level in the Tuvalu Islands, South Pacific. A mixed method research approach was adopted that includes a nationwide questionnaire survey, a review of the literature and triangulation. The study findings emphasize the dedicated support for local government to deal with most of the aspects of resource management in Tuvalu. The survey findings showed a strong preference by participants to have their Island Councils or Kaupules as the appropriate and responsible authority to be the key informant on the stock status of their natural resources, to manage their island land and marine resources, and to report and impose penalties for violations against their village resource management rules. Participants also indicated a strong preference for a mix resource management system that combines both scientific-based and traditional resource management approaches over a system that uses only traditional resource management strategies. Despite the weakness in the enforcement of existing resource management legislation in Tuvalu, where a monetary fine and imprisonment are the main prosecution methods, monetary fines was strongly perceived in this study as the most preferred method to promote village compliance and enforcement of both formal and informal village laws. In contrast, there was little support to use other common discipline methods such as imprisonment, public shaming, and traditional penalties such as public beating, and feeding of the whole island community by the caught violators; however, this is argued as either being morally wrong or no longer valid due to the Church’s influence and the adoption of laws pertaining to human rights. Although the findings of this study acknowledges that demographic and socio-economic factors can influence local perceptions towards resource management, there is generally very little evidence to conclude that there were significant differences in the perceptions of survey participants based on the many years they have resided in their home islands, having held a leadership role and age. The minor differences in the perceptions may be associated with lack of diversity in the culture of each island, small national population, weak hierarchy in economic status at the individual level as seen in other developing nations. This research provides a deeper understanding of the uncertainties associated with the need and obligation to impose stricter or more resource management measures in small local communities in response to the global move to protect biodiversity. Most importantly, it emphasizes the argument to consider the…

▼ Poverty is a multidimensional aspect which involves different types of deprivation in human capabilities such as income, education, health, food and nutrition, shelter, power and human rights. Despite Indonesia being categorized as a newly industrialized country, poverty is still a major concern, especially to the large group of people engaged in the agricultural sector. This study examines the characteristics of the poor households and the essential strategies to tackle the causes of poverty and notes policies for poverty reduction. As access to credit helps the poor to escape from poverty, this study also indicates that the characteristics can affect the households’ access to credit. Furthermore, this study evaluates the impact of food-based and health care safety nets on the households’ consumption expenditure. The two factors, educational level and area of employment of the household head play an important role in reducing poverty and accessing credit. A household head working in the service sector increases the household’s chance to be non-poor. Meanwhile, engaging in the agricultural sector may increase the households’ possibility to fall into chronic poverty and also lower the probability to get credit from formal institutions. The household heads with primary, secondary or tertiary level of education are most likely to escape from chronic poverty. Increase in years of schooling of the household heads reflects an increase in the households’ creditworthiness and ability to achieve a higher income and avoid falling into poverty. Owning assets also increases the households’ probability to move out from poverty and to secure formal and business credit. The food-based (Raskin) and health care (Askeskin) safety nets in Indonesia assist the households in poverty which supplements these households’ consumption expenditure. This result shows that the Raskin programme increases the households’ consumption of rice. Although there is not enough evidence to conclude that Askeskin programme affects the household’s consumption expenditure, a weak effect is found where it decreases the expenditure for medical services and increases the expenditure for non-medical items. The empirical findings suggest that agricultural development is important to reduce poverty levels in Indonesia. The government should ensure the poor households’ access to education and credit availability. Moreover, stabilizing food prices will be helpful to guarantee the nutrient intake of the poor, and thus can reduce poverty. These strategies should be supported by proper execution of the programmes such as targeting and integration.

▼ This thesis examines the dynamics of the shaping of a Maori workforce within the New Zealand nation 1935 - 1975 as a significant outcome of colonial and postcolonial engagements under the introduced capitalist system. It is argued that this was part of a larger process of acculturation and assimilation of Maori. That Maori labour formed a second stage in the incorporation of three indigenous components into the New Zealand domain of a global capitalist market system is accepted conditionally with some modification. Essentially, the first stage (from about 1840) was the need for land for the production of farm commodities; the second stage (from about 1935) was the need for industrial labour power for manufacturing production; and the third stage (from about 1975) was the appropriation of socio-cultural values as instruments to be utilized in social and economic administration by the State. The focus is on the second stage of this process. The central objective is to assess the outcomes of this process on Maori, socially, economically and culturally. Two broad assumptions are interrogated: first, that pools of surplus Maori labour were created as an outcome of the expansion of capitalism on pre-capitalist economies; second, that the incorporation of this surplus labour via migration from about 1935 arose from patterns of capital accumulation that created excess labour demand in urban secondary industries. Successive government policies of racial amalgamation, assimilation, adaptation and integration from 1840 through to the early 1970s, assumed that civilisation and integration were one-way processes. Government policies were predicated on concepts of assimilation and individualisation in a plethora of government initiatives in health, education, housing and social welfare, most of which were unilaterally justified on the grounds of progress and modernisation. These policies, which came to be called 'integration' in the decade of the 1960s, were perceived by government to be for the benefit of Maori and the whole nation, Pakeha and Maori. Arguably, the Hunn Report of 1960/61 marked the high point of this postcolonial ideology. The narrative of the key developments in government policies is inter-woven with an account of race relations and Maori affairs. It is emphasised that these policies were instituted during a period of enormous change· in Maori society and in the configuration of relationships between Maori and Pakeha. The focus is shifted in the last section of the thesis to the response by Maori to government policies. The retreat by Maori from issues of class deprivation to the promotion of issues that centred on loss of land, language and culture is traced. It is noted that the concern with class that marked the rhetoric of many similar global protest movements was remarkably mild in the Maori protest litany. This thesis marks a first attempt to discuss the shaping of a Maori workforce by taking an approach which recognises that the separation between culture and…

▼ The principal objective of this thesis is to explore the issue of poverty in selected research sites in Papua. This objective is broken down to four questions: how is poverty understood, how is it measured, what are its causes and how is it alleviated? Two approaches were utilised to investigate the above questions. Macro level investigation was based on exploring data available in the official publications while the micro approach was based on fieldwork carried out in the selected sites. The results of the first approach are examined in chapters two, three and four, and the second approach are discussed in chapter five, six, seven and eight. In relation to the first question, the macro exploration found that poverty is understood mainly in terms of a lack of basic components of life such as income, consumption or basic needs. Understanding poverty from this approach normally uses the poverty line, which is set up based on these items, to separate the poor from the non-poor. According to this line, poverty refers to those people whose consumption falls below the line while the rest are non-poor. This view looks at poverty from one dimension that is an economic dimension. Hence, it does not provide a complete picture of human poverty, which covers not only the economic dimension but also others such as vulnerability, powerlessness, isolation, and a lack of choice. The micro investigation adopts a poverty understanding stemming from the experience of the poor. This investigation found that the poor understand poverty from what they feel to be lacking in their environment. In this approach, poverty is a lack of assets, in particular natural, physical, human, social and financial assets. Nonetheless, those affected by poverty argue that their poverty is not related to nature, but to physical, human, social and financial assets. This view seems to offer a broader picture of human poverty and hence, it is useful for formulation of or as a basis for a poverty reduction policy. With regard to the second question, the macro approach found that poverty measurement employs a quantitative measurement of both items and methods. The quantitative items can include income, consumption or basic needs (food and non-food), which are valued in monetary terms. The quantitative methods apply statistical techniques such as headcount index, poverty gap index, poverty severity index and others to measure poverty. This measurement only considers the quantitative aspect and, therefore, it does not pay attention to the qualitative aspect of human poverty. The micro approach on the other hand, attempts to amalgamate both aspects into a poverty measurement. One of the approaches that attempts an amalgamation of the two is the participatory approach, which is utilised in this study. Although it is a qualitative-based approach, it still opens the window to the use of quantitative approaches. The micro approach seems to offer some benefits such as giving more depth of information regarding human poverty, directly touching the lives of the poor, and…

▼ Unintentional injuries (accidents) are a global child health problem. Many child injury prevention measures are proven to be effective, yet government and community focus on prevention waxes and wanes through time and across locations. Within New Zealand some measures, such as child car seats, are mandated and enforced while the provision of other equally effective strategies, such as the enforcement of swimming pool fencing regulation, appears inconsistent. This research set out to discover what influences the government’s adoption of injury prevention policies and programmes. The research analysed interview and case study data using a Foucauldian understanding of everyday practice underpinned by the analysis of interview and case study data, while also applying critical and grounded theory and public policy research. Foucault’s concept of governmentality assisted in the exploration of government actions. The findings demonstrate support for improving child safety from government employees at various levels of responsibility across many agencies. Such support has been provided both with and without endorsement by political decision makers. Positivist, quantitative research is the foundation of injury prevention science, but at times can have perverse effects, especially if work to count and reduce injury events is construed as an effort to displace valued childhood experiences. Advocacy and lobbying for child injury prevention are acknowledged by those active in injury prevention as essential activities but are not well explored or researched within New Zealand. Collaboration has long been recommended as best practice for child injury prevention, because it enables wider distribution of messages and better use of resources. This research identified organisational cascades, where backbone organisations provided resources to other organisations, so they could also act as backbone organisations and support collaborative ventures. Collaboration can be counterproductive however, when child safety practitioners and advocates develop strongly coherent identities and reduce their communication with other groups. Such behaviour risks safety groups being unaware of emergent discourse that undermines injury prevention measures and sets them up to be negatively stereotyped and marginalised from decision making. This research highlights how success at preventing child injuries is contingent upon both positivist research and the presence of a widely accepted safety culture, where the use of safety equipment and safe practices are promoted by everyone as ‘the way we do things’. New Zealand’s child injury effort has been mostly effective, and injuries are reducing in number. Despite this, there is a risk that gains in child safety might be lost, should there be insufficient recognition of the factors that have been important for these improvements to have occurred. There is also the possibility successful initiatives might prompt their premature demise by fostering an impression that government’s support for… Advisors/Committee Members: Campbell, Maxine M (advisor), Barnes, Jo (advisor).

▼ New Zealand’s national security system is based upon a collection of siloed plans and policies. New Zealand has adopted an ‘all-hazards/all-risks’ approach to national security that is based upon a reactive system. There does not exist a national security strategy that seeks to address emerging security threats. In essence, New Zealand’s approach is oriented to ‘wait for the crisis to occur before acting’. Much of the literature relating to national security is overly theoretical, which does not assist in the development of a New Zealand national security strategy. This research examines academic theory and New Zealand’s policies and plans that relate to national security in order to identify the gap between theory and policy. It is recommended that New Zealand develop a national security strategy that is based on a concept of the protection of a citizens ‘normal way of life’. This concept provides the strategy with ‘what should be protected’. By successfully focusing on this concept, it will allow New Zealand citizens to go about their daily business free from fear. Building upon this concept, a national security strategy is proposed that would take a forward-looking risk reduction approach to five emerging security threats facing New Zealand. These are: The Cyber threat, the Terrorist threat, Climate Change, Biosecurity, and threats to Territorial Security. This would enable the New Zealand government agencies responsible for supporting national security the ability to develop capabilities to meet these threats. Although New Zealand articulates a whole-of-government approach to national security, the individual plans and policies relating to national security are not connected. There is a deficiency in collaboration and commonality between government agencies within the national security framework, which could be improved with the implementation of a national security strategy that is focussed on emerging threats and allowing New Zealanders to live free from fear.

▼ The purpose of this thesis was to research the systems issues surrounding identity fraud in New Zealand. There is only limited published research on the topic, either at an academic or industry level. The New Zealand Government has been conducting work in identity fraud in recent times but New Zealand appears to be lagging behind other similar westernised countries in terms of developing specific identity fraud policy or legislative provisions. The research showed that New Zealand does have serious problems in its systems, which in some cases facilitate identity fraud. There is a lack of synchronicity between New Zealand Government systems which undermines a whole of government approach to minimising the risk of identity fraud. Issues in the private sector with identity fraud are just as serious, with financial advantage being one of the main reasons that identity fraud is committed. However, the lack of information sharing between the public and private sectors does not help stem the flow of identity fraud that is currently occurring. Finding policy solutions to combat identity fraud is far from being simplistic. Public policy in this area is fraught with social, political and financial implications. Identity fraud is committed with speed while public policy faces a slow battle with red tape. Nonetheless, the New Zealand Government does not even appear to categorically know what is happening on its own door step with respect to identity fraud. There are no statistics on identity fraud and no concrete figures as to the cost of identity fraud to New Zealand. To compound problems, identity fraud is not even an official offence classification so even when it is occurring, it is not always being recorded. The damage resulting from identity fraud can be catastrophic. Identity fraud is a breeder crime for other offences. It can enable an act of terrorism to occur, women and children to be trafficked, and organisations and individuals to suffer serious financial loss. In New Zealand however, the benefits of identity fraud can be great while the deterrents are weak. New Zealand faces potential harm to its international reputation if its systems are not strengthened to fight identity fraud. In order for this to occur, New Zealand needs to develop a specific identity fraud policy so that it has the basic knowledge in place to allocate the necessary resources to this problem.

▼ Since the 1990s, development policies have favoured the decentralisation of education and health services in Africa. Between 1997 and 2001, central governments of Uganda and Tanzania overhauled the formal frameworks and expanded the managerial and financial responsibilities of the local management committees of schools and dispensaries. This thesis examines how these changes affect the way in which these management committees engage with central government and with the local polity in which they operate. Field research in 2004 with 64 management committees in Uganda and Tanzania suggests that while central governments may appear to initiate decentralisation policies, they are essentially responding to developments in local polities. Similarly, central government may set regulations for management committees, but the diversity in local practices suggests that local circumstances and local agency are more likely determinants of how schools or dispensaries are actually managed. An analysis of the personal profiles of committee members reveals they mostly belong to the same segment of the population in the local polity; government‟s (s)election criteria or sector-specific factors play no role. Committee members do not „capture‟ committees as their personal fiefdom, but within a local polity it is likely that most functions in boards or committees are occupied on a rotational basis by a small group of individuals because more than half of the committee members simultaneously hold three or four positions. When taking a historical perspective, dominance in the institutional framework between local management committees and central government seesaws over periods of 15-30 years. If the wider institutional framework between local polities and central government since the late 19th century is studied, it becomes clear that the local resources flowing to government have varied in time – ivory, coffee, votes – but typically had limited local value, while commanding high prices on the international market. This secured cash income for central government, but also a negotiating lever for local polities. Throughout time, local polities have thus actively negotiated – from engagement to evasion – their institutional framework with central governments. The contemporary dynamic around school and dispensary committees is exemplary of that historical seesaw.

▼ Although the sustainable development paradigm has continued to grow in acknowledgement and understanding, there remains a disjuncture between its theory and practice. This disjuncture is especially evident in urban growth management, where the implementation of planning theories which promote sustainable urban form, such as smart growth and new urbanism, have failed to deliver the sustainable development outcomes promoted. The governance of the implementation of urban growth management theories has been identified as one, if not the key reason, for this disjuncture. A new approach to urban governance, based upon the principles of integration, futurity and appropriate geographic scales, is required. The current research utilises a case study approach and qualitative research methods to review how urban growth management processes are provided for in New Zealand, and to explore how new approaches to the governance of urban growth management can be implemented through New Zealand’s planning framework. Primary data was collected through interviewing a range of people who have been deeply involved in the governance of urban growth management in the Greater Christchurch sub-region of the South Island. Content analysis of relevant documents was also undertaken to determine how the current planning framework structures the governance of urban growth management. The results show that despite recent legislative changes, New Zealand’s current planning framework does not effectively promote the new approach needed for the governance of urban growth management, and that in fact, it acts as more as an inhibitor. It is recognised that central government plays an important role in shaping governance processes at the local government level. From this, specific actions that the New Zealand government should take, are recommended. The lessons and recommendations provided by this research contribute towards addressing the disjuncture between theory and practice, both in terms of ensuring better governance of the implementation of urban growth management, and in the wider respect of implementing the sustainable development paradigm.
