    Parents in New Zealand's family sponsorship policy: a preliminary assessment of the impact of the 2012 policy changes
    (Population Association of New Zealand, 2013) Bedford, R; Liu, L
    In July 2012 a radically different system for selecting parents under New Zealand’s policies relating to family sponsorship of immigrants came into operation. This paper assesses the impact of the new selection system on approvals for residence of parents from eight countries that together account for just over two-thirds of all parents admitted over the decade from July 2003 to June 2013. The policies that applied to admission of parents during that decade are reviewed, and have particular reference to the shift towards a stronger economic focus on the costs and benefits of a migration policy stream. The two-tier selection system creates two quite different sets of opportunities for family reunification amongst immigrants in New Zealandwhich are determined primarily by wealth of parents and sponsors. A possible long-term unintended consequence of these different sets of opportunities is the emergence of two classes of New Zealand citizens: those who will have an opportunity to have their parents living in New Zealand and those who will not have this opportunity for many years, if ever, because of the way the selection system works.

    Competing for talent: diffusion of an innovation in New Zealand's immigration policy
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2014) Bedford, R; Spoonley, P
    In 2003, New Zealand introduced a novel “expression of interest” (EOI) system for selecting skilled migrants. In 2012, Australia adopted a similar approach while the Canadian government is proposing to adopt a variant of the EOI system in 2015. From being a follower of Canadian and Australian immigration policy initiatives, New Zealand has become the innovator. This paper examines the reasons for this significant policy shift and reviews some outcomes of the EOI system during the first decade of operation. As the international competition for talent intensifies, such policy innovation is essential if countries are going to attract skilled migrants.

    The Adventures of Jonathan Dennis, Founding Director of the New Zealand Film Archive
    (International Federation of Film Archives, 2014-04-30) Kelly, E
    Jonathan Spencer Dennis (b.1953 d.2002) was the director of the NZFA in its first decade (1981 -1990). A passionate cinéaste, Dennis was proud to have met Lillian Gish, to be friends with Kenneth Anger and to be guided by the advice of Len Lye and Mary Meerson. He studied at the 1979 FIAF Summer School in East Berlin and the BFI (at that time called the British National Film Archive). He also worked at the British National Film Theatre during an extensive study tour of Europe and North America. Yet in the first few years of the Archive’s development, something happened which drew the organization away from its early influences. Witarina Te Miriarangi Parewahaika Harris (nee Mitchell b.1906 d.2007) star of the 1929 film The Devil’s Pit aka Under the Southern Cross (Dir. Collins, L. Universal Studios) became Dennis’ friend and the first kaumātua (elder) of the Archive. She guided Dennis to engage with the iwi of the motu (the people of the country) so that a new type of archive firmly embedded in the traditions of the South Pacific was able to develop. Along the way there was great tension as power imbalances within society were reflected within the Institution’s walls. In turn this tension led to a new creativity, a recognition of the potential of the Archive which incorporated its spiritual as well as intellectual and historical value. Under Dennis’ and Harris’ influence The New Zealand Film Archive began to evolve into Ngā Kaitiaki o Ngā Taonga Whitiāhua: The Guardians of the Treasured Images of Light.

    Collective Rights and Democratic States: A New Framework for Addressing Global Socio-economic Inequality
    (Informa UK Limited, 2019) Radaković, A
    This article will present the argument for treating democratic states as moral and not only legal collective entities; that is, it will apply the theory of collective rights of cultural groups in a (closed) domestic political setting to democratic states in international relations. Numerous experiences by self-identifying cultural groups bear witness to the fact that morally important objectives are not always reached by merely treating individuals as the sole bearers of moral status. In order to prevent latent cultural imperialism, many countries around the world have adopted various models of collective rights protection and policies of preferential treatment for these groups. This article will examine whether it is possible to make a parallel between cultural groups and democratic states; in particular, whether it is feasible to think of democratic states as moral entities and what the normative implications of such a view for contemporary international relations and trade would be.
