Governing the global commons: the ‘planetary boundaries’ approach
Authors: Bosselmann Klaus
Published: September 2018

This article offers some ideas about a system of governance which reflects the reality of planetary boundaries (Rockström et al., 2009; Steffen et al., 2015). The goal of living safely within the boundaries of our planet cannot be achieved by relying on traditional forms of governance based on the concept of sovereign nation states. States, driven by national interest, have been resistant to accepting responsibility for areas beyond national jurisdiction known as the global commons (Ostrom, 1990). The focus for governing the global commons – the polar regions, oceans, atmosphere, outer space – needs to shift from states to Earth as a whole, evoking what might be called ‘Earth governance’.
Trading in influence: a research agenda for New Zealand?
Authors: Gluck James , Macaulay Michael
Published: September 2018

In November 2015 the Organised Crime and Anti-corruption Legislation Bill was passed by Parliament. An omnibus bill, it amended numerous different acts in relation to (among other things) money laundering, organised crime, corruption and bribery offences. One of its stated aims was to bring New Zealand legislation up to date to enable New Zealand to finally ratify the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), which it did in December that year. The merits and potential demerits of the bill have been discussed previously (Macaulay and Gregory, 2015), but one thing that requires further attention is the creation of a new offence of ‘trading in influence’.
Government expenditure in New Zealand since 1935: a preliminary reassessment
Authors: Gibbons Matthew
Published: September 2018

The optimal size of government is an important political and economic issue. However, because no long-term government expenditure series has official standing, New Zealand is often a missing case in comparative studies of government expenditure (Castles, 1998). Although government expenditure data is available from 1972 on Treasury’s website (New Zealand Treasury, 2016), the most widely used data before 1972 is a ‘consolidated’ long-term data series, on Statistics New Zealand’s website, which uses data from a number of sources and is published with strong disclaimers.
Quality regulation: why and how?
Authors: Yeabsley John , Nixon Chris
Published: September 2018

A hundred days out from the election a number of issues are buzzing: housing, immigration, water, climate change, electricity bills, and the perennials, economic growth, incomes and taxes and law and order. Based on previous contests, some of these will become the raw material of the political debates while others will fade to the background.
Education in or for the 21st Century?
Authors: Wylie Cathy
Published: September 2018

The main policy problems facing education in 2017 relate to its resourcing, its structure, and the measurement of its performance and impact. Underneath the questions of whether government funding matches the greater expectations placed on education over the last decade, and whether structures need changing, or new players introduced, lies the question of what should be given most priority. Should education be most valued in terms of its contribution to increasing New Zealand’s productivity and economic wellbeing, which has been more and more to the fore in tertiary policy? Should it be most valued in relation to what can be quantitatively measured, focusing on achievement in the traditional ‘3Rs’ through national standards, and secondary qualifications, the emphasis in the first set of Better Public Services targets? Should it be most valued in terms of how well students develop the capabilities to contribute as citizens, form flourishing families, think critically and creatively, problem-solve, and act well in the face of an increasingly volatile natural and human world?
Does the Living Wage ensure an adequate standard of living for families?
Authors: St John Susan , So Yun
Published: September 2018

New Zealand was once held up as a model of egalitarianism to other countries. Today New Zealand is far from being that leader, with high income and wealth inequality and an unacceptable level of family poverty and homelessness. Children are particularly affected, suffering the highest levels of material deprivation in New Zealand (Perry, 2016). Living Wage Movement Aotearoa New Zealand (LWMA) has argued that raising wages is the best way to address this problem.
The heritage problem: is current policy on earthquake-prone heritage buildings too costly?
Authors: Henrich Liv , McClure John
Published: September 2018

Earthquakes are a major hazard around the world (Bjornerud, 2016). A recent example is New Zealand, where three major earthquake events occurred within a six-year period. The 2010–11 earthquakes in Canterbury, centred close to the city of Christchurch, led to 185 fatalities, mainly due to two collapsed buildings and crumbling facades (Crampton and Meade, 2016). In addition, the rebuild of Christchurch after the earthquakes cost $40 billion (English, 2013), a large sum for a small country. Subsequent large earthquakes occurred in 2013 in Seddon (close to Wellington) and in 2016 in Kaiköura.
Productivity and changing technology
Authors: Conway Paul
Published: September 2018

An orbital-class rocket with a 3D-printed engine launches into space from the Mähia Peninsula. A self-driving car crosses the Auckland Harbour Bridge. A pizza company begins testing delivery using airborne drones. While these may sound like things of science fiction, they are in fact stories that have been in the New Zealand media over the last year. These stories provide a glimpse of how technology is changing. Changes are not just happening around the edges but could be as disruptive to models of production as earlier industrial revolutions.
New Zealand’s Port and Harbour Marine Safety Code: a case study in co-regulation
Authors: Manch Keith
Published: September 2018

The inaugural annual national forum on the 2016 New Zealand Port and Harbour Marine Safety Code took place in July 2017 in Wellington. The 2016 code replaced a code originally put in place in 2004. Participants in the forum included the 2016 code partners: port companies, regional councils/unitary authorities, Maritime New Zealand, as well as maritime industry representatives, and other government agencies with an interest in maritime safety. The forum represented an important waypoint in the journey from the development, implementation and review of the 2004 code, to the development and implementation of the 2016 code as a key part of the regulatory system that seeks to manage port and harbour risks.
Civics and citizenship education in New Zealand: a case for change?
Authors: Krieble Todd , Tavich Danijela
Published: September 2018

The 2013 Constitutional Advisory Panel recommendation for a national strategy for civics and citizenship education in schools, kura (Māori-medium schools) and communities provided the opportunity for an important conversation about building civic knowledge in Aotearoa New Zealand (Constitutional Advisory Panel, 2013, p.8). This article explores possible next steps for implementing this recommendation. It is broken up into two parts: a case for change, and potential next steps.
Managing the opportunities and risks associated with disruptive technologies: space law in New Zealand
Authors: Hutchison Kirsty , MacNeill Katherine , Mumford Peter , Sim Val
Published: September 2018

A key challenge for regulators is how to enable entrepreneurship and innovation while managing the risks associated with rapidly evolving technologies and associated market change. A number of technologies could be used to illustrate this problem, such as the internet, gene editing and driverless vehicles. However, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) recently had to face  this specific issue in relation to space activities.
A rail tale
Authors: Ballantyne Chris
Published: September 2018

In 2005, Parliament passed new legislation to regulate railway safety in New Zealand. Applying international best practice, the Railways Act took a goal-based approach that utilised the Safety Case concept as the foundation for regulatory oversight. This article describes the Transport Agency’s experience in implementing this regulatory approach, particularly the Safety Case concept. The change required the Transport Agency to first recognise that fully harnessing the legislation required a transformational response and then, along with the wider industry, address the challenges faced in developing and implementing an appropriate regulatory operating model.
Open innovation communication: Improving strategy implementation in the public sector
Authors: Cina Amelia , Cummings Stephen
Published: September 2018

When Jørgen Knudstorp took over as CEO of the LEGO group in 2004, the toy company was in a state of decline.1 A lack of innovation and loss of market position led to the group posting their first loss in 1998. LEGO had lost sight of the needs of their customers. “We were not making toys that were sufficiently interesting to children. We failed to innovate enough,” commented executive vice-president of the group Mads Nipper (The Telegraph, 2009).

Platforms in Aotearoa: our fast-growing sharing economy
Authors: Jenkins Kevin
Published: September 2018

My favourite farmers’ market in Aotearoa is in Dunedin. Over the warmer months it has the best fresh produce in New Zealand: Central Otago apricots the size of peaches, oldschool gooseberries, greengage plums. But the Otago Farmers Market also offers a physical pun. It’s at Dunedin’s famous Railway Station, and there on the station platform you’ll also find many artisan products, like seaweed condiments, craft beer, and bread of every kind. A ‘platform’, according to Choudary and Parker, is ‘a business model that uses technology to connect people, organisations and resources in ecosystems to exchange goods, services and ideas’ (Choudary and Parker, 2016). Take a broad view of ‘technology’ and the Otago Farmers Market is a platform on a platform.
Better Public Services: the advisory group report
Authors: Martin John R
Published: September 2018

On 15 March 2012 the Prime Minister released the report of the Better Public Services advisory and governance group appointed in May 2011 (the report had been completed in November 2011 but release was delayed over the election period) (Better Public Services Advisory Group (BPSAG), 2011). Public attention focused on the creation of a new ‘business-facing’ government department, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, and on the ten expectations that collectively made up ‘a new results-driven focus for the public service’, to which the prime minister devoted his speech of 15 March 2012 (Key, 2012). Other initiatives, such as the pooling of justice sector budgets,1 have attracted little comment in the media but open up possibilities for greater inter-agency collaboration.
Family planning is back on the international development agenda: why should New Zealand play a greater role in the Pacific?
Authors: International Family Planning
Published: September 2018

Since the mid-1990s, access to comprehensive family planning services has been widely recognised as a basic human right. Despite this, family planning has been and remains one of the most under-resourced and politically sensitive development issues of our time. As a consequence, it is estimated that this year (2012), some 222 million women in the developing world have an unmet need for family planning. Estimates indicate that meeting this need would cost $US8.1 billion and prevent 54 million unintended pregnancies, more than 79,000 maternal deaths and 1.1 million infant deaths (Singh and Darroch, 2012).
Covered bonds and bank failure management in New Zealand
Authors: Bertram Geoff , Tripe David
Published: September 2018

The global financial crisis of 2008 has highlighted the question of where the costs fall when banks (or other financial institutions) fail. The issue is a real one. Failures do happen, and have become more common in the deregulated policy environment that developed worldwide from the 1980s. New Zealand has seen the collapse of the Development Finance Corporation in the 1980s; the near-failure of the Bank of New Zealand in 1990 (after a previous rescue in 1988, a further $640 million government bailout was needed in 1990 (Cardow et al., 2011)); and the failure of a string of finance companies culminating with that of South Canterbury Finance (which has left taxpayers carrying well over $1 billion of assets on which recoveries are questionable).
Dimensions of poverty measurement
Authors: Stephens Robert
Published: September 2018

In December 2012 the Office of the Children’s Commissioner produced a report on Solutions to Child Poverty in New Zealand: evidence for action (Expert Advisory Group on Solutions to Child Poverty, 2012a, 2012b). This wide-ranging report provided a detailed analysis of the causes and consequences of child poverty, as well as providing a range of policy solutions to the various dimensions of child poverty. Recommendations were not limited to just increasing the level of disposable income for poor households: the report also made policy recommendations in relation to health care, housing costs and standards, educational attainment, labour markets and local community support, plus issues of child support, the justice sector and problem debt. All of these recommendations were set in an ethnic context, with specific attention given to the particular issues pertaining to addressing poverty in Māori and Pasifika communities.
Forward liability and welfare reform in New Zealand
Authors: Chapple Simon
Published: September 2018

In November 2012, Gabriel Makhlouf, the secretary to the Treasury, gave a wide-ranging speech to the Trans- Tasman Business Circle which discussed, among other things, recent reforms in the welfare system. He described the new ‘investment approach’ as a significant change to the New Zealand welfare system, which he suggested would effectively get people back into work, reduce poverty and increase living standards. The overarching welfare reforms announced and being implemented by the current government are in large part constructed around this investment approach, which provides a central policy narrative to the reforms. The centrality of the investment approach is expressed via the operational use of a measure of what is variously termed ‘forward liability’, ‘future liability’ or ‘long-term liability’ of the welfare system as the key performance management tool for Work and Income. Forward liability (the term exclusively used here) is basically the total current and future fiscal costs of welfare, appropriately discounted.
Valuing a healthy start to life
Authors: Nixon Chris
Published: September 2018

How should governments make effective use of research that examines the costs of a ‘less than healthy’ start to life? Are there any ‘free efficiency lunches’ to be had by improving intervention processes in early childhood health and education? On the surface at least, health and education are prime areas for improved efficiency gains because of the large amounts of public money spent and the potential to create substantial public value.
Gender differences in paid and unpaid work: findings from a New Zealand birth cohort
Authors: Gibb Sheree J , Fergusson David M , Boden Joseph M
Published: September 2018

One of the most prominent changes in the labour market over the last five decades has been the increase in women’s participation in paid employment. In New Zealand and overseas, increasing numbers of women have entered the labour market and have been working increasingly longer hours in paid employment. For example, while only 28.4% of New Zealand women aged 15–64 were employed full-time in 1951, by 2001 this proportion had increased to 56.4% (Johnston, 2005).
Engaging youth on New Zealand’s long-term fiscal position
Authors: Krieble Susie , O'Dwyer-Cunliffe Finn
Published: September 2018

It would be fair to assume that the majority of the country’s young people have not read the Treasury’s most recent statement on New Zealand’s long-term fiscal position. However, for the 27 young people who participated in the 2012 LongTermNZ workshop the release of the document was a matter of eager anticipation. This article is written by two of those who took part in the workshop. It explores the group’s response to the Treasury’s 2013 Statement on the Long-Term Fiscal Position, and the participants’ thoughts on how the Treasury can further its commitment to engaging young people in a conversation surrounding the long-term health and viability of the New Zealand economy.

Published: September 2018

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Since early centuries of Christian calendar, the Indian epics Mahabharata and Ramayana have widely spread across the Nusantara Archipelago.Â  By the time these epics arrived here, they were not presented in their genuine forms, but had been adopted and localized in order to approach the natives.Â  The adaptation process included taking the shadow theatrical form, translating and interpretating the stories, and transforming character and visual descriptions which were manifested into puppet form.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  One of the character transformations which includes personality and visual descriptions was done to Priest Drona, the vital character roled as guru to both Pandawas and Kurawas, who was trapped inside the dilemma among his disciples.Â  In Javanese version, Drona has been transformed into an ambiguous, mischievous, and slightly humorous character.Â  In Cirebon version, Drona was depicted as an evil character who provoked the Battle of Bharata yuddha.Â  Drona puppet himself has unique and specific visual attributes compared to other puppet main characters, and each form of puppet Drona possess a high symbolic meaning beneath them.Â  The problem is how do the visual attributes of each puppet tell us about the characterâ€™s complexity? This paper analyzes every visual variation of Drona leather puppet in Cirebon using the Art Criticism methods and semiotics referring to general Javanese Shadow Puppetry performance.Â  This analysis proves the complexity of the character based on the differences of cloth, accessories and other visual attributes from Cirebon perspective.Â Keywords: Cirebonese leather puppets, character, Drona, visual attributes

TRANSFORMASI BUDAYA MELALUI LEMBAGA PENDIDIKAN
Authors: Zafi Ashif az
Published: September 2018

Pendidikan dianggap sebagai sistem persekolahan. Sistem ini hanya melihat hubungan struktural antar bagianÂ  seperti guru, siswa, kurikulum dan sarana prasarana. Namun ternyata lembaga pendidikan dapat dilihat lebih dari itu yaitu sebagai sebuah tempat dalam melakukan transformasi budaya. Lembaga pendidikan dan transformasi budaya tidak dapat dipisahkan karena keduanya terkait dengan nilai. Lembaga pendidikan dapat disamakan dengan sistem sosial karena didalamnya terjadi proses sosialisasi. Tulisan ini dimaksudkan untuk memberikan kontribusi berupa konsep dalam melakukan transfer nilai sehingga membentuk karakter melalui lembaga pendidikan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa menurut teori perkembangan budaya Van Peursen maka diharapkan lembaga pendidikan dapat memposisikan diri sebagai tahap fungsional. Pada tahap ini lembaga pendidikan sebagai agen transformasi nilai harus berfungsi dalam memberikan nilai-nilai yang dianut oleh masyarakat. Dalam melakukan proses pembudayaan nilai agar terbentuk menjadi karakter dapat menggunakan pendapat dari Pierre Bourdieu mengenai Habitus. Lembaga pendidikan dapat melakukan pembiasaan melalui beberapa kegiatan. Pembiasaan dapat dilakukan melalui interaksi sosial antar warga sekolah (lembaga pendidikan). Pembiasaan yang telah mengakar menjadi pembudayaan harus dijaga dengan kontrol yang dilakukan oleh lembaga pendidikan.

Authors: Zhdanova Anna Vladimirovna
Published: September 2018

The article deals with the peculiarities of the verbal aspect category functioning in the translation of the work of the Columbian writer Gabriel García Márquez “One Hundred Years of Solitude” made by N. Butyrina and V. Stolbov. In the original, tense forms and verbal phrases interact with the context and the lexical meaning of the verbs representing this or that aspectual nuance. In the Russian translation, it is not always possible to find direct correspondences, because the aspectual characteristic of the Spanish verb is closely related to the category of tense and is expressed by tense forms and verbal phrases, and not by the verb itself, as it is in Russian.
