W artykule tym autor przedstawił postawy polityczne wśród Nowozelandczyków i Polonii nowozelandzkiej wobec wprowadzenia w Polsce stanu wojennego w 1981 r. W trakcie prowadzonego badania ujawniono następujące zjawiska, które towarzyszyły postawom politycznym wyrażanym w Nowej Zelandii wobec stanu wojennego w Polsce: nowozelandzkie związki zawodowe zajmowały stanowiska dychotomiczne wobec „Solidarności”; antykomunizm ówczesnego rządu nowozelandzkiego; konflikt polityczny w środowiskach polskiej emigracji politycznej; wysoką zdolność Polonii do mobilizacji politycznej. Przeprowadzone badanie stanowiło podstawę do potwierdzenia hipotezy, stanowiącej przypuszczenie, że Polacy jak i Nowozelandczycy w Nowej Zelandii ujawniali postawy antykomunistyczne w okresie wprowadzenia stanu wojennego w Polsce, a społeczeństwo nowozelandzkie wspierało Polaków w Nowej Zelandii w ich postawach antykomunistycznych i działaniach na rzecz wyrażenia dezaprobaty dla reżimu komunistycznego i rozwiązania opozycji demokratycznej skoncentrowanej wokół ruchu społecznego „Solidarność”.

Artykuł skoncentrowany jest wokół analizy fenomenu roli międzynarodowej, jaką osiągnęła we współczesnej Azji Wschodniej Nowa Zelandia. Opierając się na modelu PIPP, oszacowuję poszczególne elementy składające się na rolę międzynarodową (potęgę, wpływ, obecność i działalność międzynarodową) wszystkich Partnerów Dialogowych ASEAN – centralnej organizacji regionalnej w tej części świata. Następnie przy pomocy analizy strategicznych narracji weryfikuję hipotezę upatrującą przyczynę sukcesu Nowej Zelandii w jej niezmiennej od dekad dobrej reputacji.

The importance of relations with Australia and New Zealand as part of the UK’s post-Brexit engagement in the Indo-Pacific region

In the geopolitical situation in which Great Britain found itself after its withdrawal from the European Union in 2020, it was necessary to develop a new foreign and security policy strategy. The flagship concept of ‘Global Britain’ assumes the reorientation of the United Kingdom outside Europe and greater involvement in the security architecture of the Indo-Pacific region. The article examines to what extent the intention to strengthen relations with as likeminded partners in the Indo-Pacific region coincides with the assumptions of Australian and New Zealand policies. It has been shown that the former British dominions, which are part of the so-called Anglosphere, have been given a vital role in securing the UK’s position as a world leader. From the perspectives of the national interest of both countries, rebuilding ties with the former empire is considered an important strategic element, although giving it a priority in the current geopolitical realities is not possible. Australia and New Zealand put special emphasis on developing cooperation with the Indo-Pacific countries.

New Zealand: idea of nation

New Zealand has been a nation of firsts and innovators of many occasions. Moreover, it has also been a leading nation for civil and humanitarian issues. Peter Fraser was eager to invite over seven hundred Polish children to the country during World War II to keep them safe from the threat. Modern world has been shaped by past experience, where apart from cultural heritage and people’s backgrounds or origins neoliberalism created new conditions in which people around the world struggle to live. Neo liberalism along with capitalism unifying our world have influenced the notion of common values for different people. Nation is one of such values. We are now in the 21st century and it seems that New Zealand is at the forefront of progress on global scale in terms of understanding the concept of nation in global conditions. It is common knowledge that New Zealand depends mostly on exports, does it mean that New Zealand must compete by nation–branding with others on the global market?
