How does – and how could – Te Tiriti o Waitangi inform the perceptions and praxis of the trans-Tasman alliance
Towards a tika political science: Restoring balance, reflecting our context
This article is a rejoinder to two previous articles about the political science discipline in Aotearoa New Zealand published in The Australian Journal of Indigenous Education: Annie Te One and Maria Bargh's "Towards a Fairer and More Tika Political Science and Politics: Are Political Science Programs Equipping Students Adequately for Aotearoa Realities?" (vol. 52, no. 2) and Jack Vowles's "Fairness, Tika and Political Science in Aotearoa New Zea…
Man(ne)'s world: Explaining the Paradoxical Nature of Attitudes Towards Women in Combat
Enduring resistance to women joining combat roles, ostensibly to protect those women, is paradoxical when juxtaposed against the everyday dangers that women face. This paper draws attention to such sites of contradiction, summarizing the literature that investigates these before bringing Kate Manne’s ‘logic of misogyny’ into the conversation. Manne’s characterization of misogyny as a ‘hostile forcefield’, and her assertion that women are essentia…
New Zealand’s Policing Efforts in the Pacific: Gender Programs, Practices, and Performances
Research increasingly identifies gender equality as being vital for the achievement of lasting peace and prosperity. New Zealand Police have delivered a range of capacity-building projects and programs in Pacific Island countries over many years. In this article, we examine the gendered impact of two such programs and consider how they have been delivered by New Zealand’s police officers. Although specific gender-focused programs helpfully priori…
The Game' that stopped two nations: Development and diplomacy in the case of the 2015 New Zealand All Black's and Manu Samoa rugby test match in Samoa
This article investigates the impacts of the 2015 New Zealand (NZ) All Black rugby test match with Manu Samoa in Samoa: the ‘Game that stopped two nations’ (henceforth referred to as ‘the Game’). Outlining key concepts as well as events and experiences surrounding the Game, this paper reflects on how the Game aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals as well as NZ's current Pacific Reset Agenda, an agenda which aims to increase understanding,…
Championing the WPS Agenda
This article draws on official sources to investigate how New Zealand interpreted its Women, Peace and Security obligations through the development and implementation of its first National Action Plan (NAP) in 2015. Existing beliefs that New Zealand was already a ‘world leader’ in this field yielded an unambitious document. Government agencies such as the New Zealand Police (NZ Police) and New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) have gone on to make som…
Maintaining the Police–Military Divide in Policing Peace
Providing Peacekeepers: The Politics, Challenges and Future of United Nations Peacekeeping Contributions
The co-editors of this book, Alex Bellamy and Paul Williams, seek to identify ways in which to improve UN peacekeeping contributions. They have four suggestions: 1) persuading countries to go beyon
Popperian Peacebuilding, Policing and the Liberal Peace
In light of the quarrelling between advocates and critics of the liberal peacebuilding agenda, this article calls for the adoption of a ‘Popperian’ approach. This approach would be one that seeks to identify and address the greatest evils to fundamental liberal principles rather than undertaking swift and sweeping liberalization projects. Tolerance is therefore advocated in all matters that fall outside of this remit in order to temper the curren…
International Policing and International Relations
The idea of creating an international police force (IPF) was first mooted by Lord David Davies in the 1930s. In 1963 U Thant, Secretary General of the United Nations, then claimed that he had 'no doubt that the world should eventually have an international police force'. Yet our international system has been and continues to be based on states, their sovereignty and a correlative 'inside/outside' distinction: a distinction which is resistant to t…
Statebuilding, Peacebuilding, Police and Policing in Solomon Islands
This article investigates the relationship between the statebuilding efforts currently emphasised as necessary for development and security in post-conflict settings, and the possibilities for broader peacebuilding efforts to be prioritised. It does this through an analysis of the push to form a centralised formal police force in the Solomon Islands where more informal sites of policing authority already exist. The paper suggests that the narrowe…
Revisiting the politics of post-conflict peacebuilding: Reconciling the liberal agenda
There is a growing body of literature dedicated to critiquing liberal peacebuilding. This paper revisits the current post-conflict peacebuilding agenda in light of these critiques, outlining how both proponents and opponents perceive three core principles, that is, democratisation, economic liberalisation and state-building. Drawing attention to the emergence of arguments for alternative approaches, this paper argues that recent developments prov…
Peacebuilding, gender and policing in Solomon Islands
UN Security Council Resolution 1325 calls for a gender perspective to be integrated into the resolution of conflicts. This responsibility manifests itself in a number of more specific proposals, some easily assessable, others less so. In this paper, we begin by considering the success of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) – the poster child for peacebuilding efforts – at meeting these specific proposals. In light of this, …
The Rise of Policing in Peace Operations
Civilian police have become such a sought-after commodity for use in peace support operations that the phrase 'international police peacekeeping' is now in common usage in the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations. The nomenclature is, however, rather misleading, as police personnel may now be tasked with peace enforcement and peacebuilding tasks in addition to more traditional peacekeeping roles. Police personnel bring new capabilities and sk…
The diplomacy of international policing: A case study of the New Zealand experience
International policing is a phenomenon on the rise. Encompassing a range of activities such as transnational police liaison, response to disasters and post-conflict peace-building, such seemingly technical practices can have significant political implications. A consideration of New Zealand’s recent experiences provides an opportunity to examine some of the sites of promise and difficulty at play in the practice of international policing. Focusin…
The New International Policing
Police personnel have increasingly been deployed outside their own domestic jurisdictions to uphold law and order and to help rebuild states. This book explores the phenomenon of a 'new international
Unpol: UN police as peacekeepers
There have been momentous shifts underway in the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations. The UN Police Division, long back the 'poor cousin' of the military side of the house, has been elevated to a new status. In the new institutional environment, the Division is now embedded within a rule of law and security institutions pillar, with its own Assistant Secretary-General, and which is increasingly recognised as being central to the successful c…
Liberalism and the Use of Force: Core Themes and Conceptual Tensions
Since the mid-1980s, a number of authors have asserted that there is a special kind of relationship between democratic states; or that liberalism promotes peaceful relations between liberal states; or that there exists a hierarchy of states in international society with liberal states at the apex of that hierarchy. Many of these theories touch on issues of liberalism, liberal states, and the use of military force. Yet they still do not directly a…
