Summary/Abstract |
The ortigin of NZAID lie in the need for expertise, experience, continuity and accountability in aid provision, These had been difficult to achieve under the old arrangements focused on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Aid Division. Most diplomats viewed aid work as a temporary distraction from diplomatic postings, not as a career choice. The establishment of a career service was designed to rectify this situation, rather than to ensure a political compromise in 2002. In aid provision there are no quich fixes.Fifty years of experience has shown how hard it is to generate life enhancing economic activity in the pacific islands. The government should tread warily in the field, and should not ignore voluntary sector experience. This article cricises the government's new approach to aid provision.

Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the results of the world's largest ever survey of international relations (IR) scholars with an eye to establishing the particularities of the discipline in Australia and New Zealand. The survey covered the areas of teaching, research, the structure of the profession and scholars' views on foreign policy. From these results, this paper compares IR in New Zealand and Australia, and discusses the extent to which the discipline in these two countries is distinctive from its overseas counterparts, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom. The particular areas of focus include the degree to which the field in Australasia conforms to or differs from US or Commonwealth identities; epistemological and gender divides; the distinctive foci of what IR scholars in both countries teach and research; which publications are favoured and disfavoured; and the contrasting linkages between academia and the world of government and policy. We conclude with some suggestions about how the field in both countries might be improved.

Summary/Abstract |
Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) implemented by city councils in the USA have proven an effective means of stimulating installation of renewable-electricity generation capacity at a local level, and may also be effective for New Zealand cities. Though New Zealand has a high proportion of electricity generated renewably, this is mostly from centralized hydroelectricity plants. The suitability of city-level FITs for promoting solar photovoltaic panels in New Zealand is examined. Findings suggest that FITs, with rates obtained using the cost-of-generation method, could be implemented in New Zealand cities at rates comparable to those in successful FIT schemes internationally. The unique structure of New Zealand's liberalized electricity market, however, is likely to make financing FIT schemes at city-level more complex than the equivalent situation in the USA. Benefits of introducing such schemes will include the possibility for purchasers of solar PV systems to calculate returns on investment over the long term, and the streamlining of the grid connection process by reducing the number of authorities involved.

Summary/Abstract |
This article examines whether policies alone are sufficient to foster change in diversity and inclusion in the Australian and New Zealand intelligence sectors. It considers the diversity and inclusion policies of Australian intelligence agencies as well as applicable legislation regarding employment and nondiscrimination, as the legislation informs policy and is intended to reflect societal values. By comparing the Australian and New Zealand approaches to diversity and examining the successes and failures of their differing policies, this article reveals which policies have been most effective in fostering change in representation and equality and proposes alternative solutions based on other diversity and inclusion practices, such as mentorship, sponsorship and parenting outreach programs, and flexible working options.

Summary/Abstract |
We all understand something of what has happened in the global economy, starting in the United States and spreading out from there.If at first people were reasonably confident that their own country would escape some of the consequences of the turmoil, it is clear that day by day, week by week, the evidence has been other.

Summary/Abstract |
Robert Ayson comments on the South China Sea. Asia's regional security and New Zealand foreign policy
as the powers jostle in a more competitive Asia-Pacific region, it may seem counter-intuitive to call for a clearer New Zealand position on the South China Sea disputes. But even as regional tensions grow, Wellington can stick up for its principles without joining a chorus of China criticism. Under the key government, New Zealand's alignment with the United States is becoming more pronounced through a series of small but cumulatively important steps. this makes it even more important for New Zealand's policy to be staked out clearly, including in written from accessible to the public discussion.
