Item Towards a tika political science: Restoring balance, reflecting our context(Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit, The University of Queensland, 2024-12-11) Azarmandi M; Beausoleil E; Bickerton SH; Choi S; Fadgen T; Greener B; Gregory T; Hayward J; Lovering I; Nissen S; Powles A; Sardelić J; Schick K; Skilling P; Tan LThis article is a rejoinder to Annie Te One and Maria Bargh’s article published in The Australian Journal of Indigenous Education in 2023, “Towards a Fairer and More Tika Political Science and Politics: Are Political Science Programs Equipping Students Adequately for Aotearoa Realities?” (vol. 52, no. 2).Item Different nightmares, shared dreams? Australia and New Zealand's intuitive alliance(Taylor and Francis Group, 2024-10-23) Powles A; Wallis JWhat does this apparent relegation of the strategic significance of Australia’s relationship with New Zealand to a partnership in Australia’s 2023 Defence Strategic Review tell us about the status of the Australia-New Zealand alliance? Based on interviews and roundtables with leaders, officials, and academics in both countries in late 2023 and early 2024, we argue that the depth and breadth of Australia and New Zealand’s defence, economic, regulatory, and people-to-people cooperation and integration has made their relationship ‘intuitive’. That is, Australia and New Zealand’s relationship has come to be seen as part of the natural order of things, so that the two countries see each other as a natural, permanent partner, parting company with whom is unthinkable. But we also argue that this may prevent the two neighbours from recognising and responding to tensions. To address this, we examine differences between the two countries’ perceptions of themselves, their strategic interests, and their alliance, and find that the management of expectations will continue to generate tensions. While we conclude that these tensions will not fundamentally undermine the relationship, we acknowledge that it has not yet been seriously tested, for example by conflict in East Asia.Item The Australia-New Zealand alliance: introduction to the special section(Taylor and Francis Group, 2024-10-06) Wallis J; Powles AIt is difficult to think of two countries more closely aligned than Australia and New Zealand. Indeed, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade describes the neighbours as ‘natural allies with a strong trans-Tasman sense of family’ (DFAT Citationn.d.). New Zealand’s Ministry of Defence says that New Zealand has ‘no better friend and no closer ally’ (MoD Citation2016, 32). In his comments following the 2024 Australia-New Zealand Foreign and Defence Ministerial Consultations (ANZMIN), Australian deputy prime minister and defence minister Richard Marles stated that: ‘the character [of the relationship] between Australia and New Zealand is one of family. There’s no country in the world with whom we are closer than New Zealand’ (Marles Citation2024).Item The 2018 Strategic Defence Statement: Ten Different Views from Massey Scholars(2018-08-01) Azizian R; Choi S; Belgrave D; Greener B; Harding N; Hoverd W; Knotter L; Leslie H; Powles A; Prinsen; Greener, BItem Security cooperation in the Pacific Islands: architecture, complex, community, or something else?(Oxford University Press, 2023-05-01) Powles A; Wallis J; McNeill H; Batley J
