• W2918278294 abstract "This thesis investigates policy change at the interface of domestic and transnational realms through a lens of political traditions. I examine this through a case-study of policymaking that occurred between 1999 and 2001 in the context of trans-Tasman negotiations, which resulted in changes to longstanding policy in the relationship. By exploring the motives driving policymakers, and institutional, ideational and agency dynamics, I seek to understand and make sense of this policymaking.Prior to 2001, Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangements (TTTA) and associated conventions permitted open borders between Australia and New Zealand. This meant bilateral freedom of residential movement and equal treatment with reciprocal rights for citizens of both countries. These arrangements were based on an historical precedence of free movement across the Tasman since early European settlement. However, Australia unilaterally changed the status of New Zealanders migrating after February 2001, resulting in a diminution of rights for New Zealanders who reside in Australia.The impact of these changes began to receive increased attention as the consequences started to become more visible. The consequences of a growing cohort of residents permanently excluded from full political participation and access to a social security safety net began to impact not only those affected but also the communities in which they lived. Despite this interest, the motivations behind these legislative changes have received little attention, even though they occurred in the context of increased transnational governance and economic integration. This thesis proffers an interpretive narrative of this contentious policymaking, exploring the beliefs and intentions of agents’ understandings of the need for change. Drawing on in-depth interviews in Australia and New Zealand to explore different ways problems and solutions were conceptualised by elite policy actors on both sides of the Tasman, I suggest that understanding the motivations behind these changes provides important insights. Grounded in the work of Mark Bevir and Rod Rhodes, and investigated through a prism of political traditions, I provide an account of how dilemmas were constructed, framed and interpreted, and explore the dynamics of interaction that may have influenced agents’ perceptions of how change could be achieved.This case-study is situated in the context of a long and continuing history of enduring trans-Tasman relationships, with incumbent beliefs, values and expectations, both informal and formal. I argue that the character and nature of a distinct set of symbolic and constructed trans-Tasman traditions emerged through historically fluid, open and circular migration. This was maintained through a longstanding arrangement for free movement and mutual, reciprocal rights and treatment of people across the Tasman. By postulating a new characterisation of trans-Tasman political traditions, this work advances the application of Bevir and Rhodes’ interpretive narrative approach to policy studies into new territory – a transnational realm of political traditions. The framework of transnational traditions developed here adds value to policy analysis both theoretically and empirically. Exploring this distinct set of trans-Tasman political traditions reveals a dynamic inter-layered context for interpreting the often-conflicting traditions through which policymakers view the world and the relationship between the beliefs they hold and their actions. In the context of a framework of extant and changing traditions, my explanatory narrative brings together key insights into the perceived dilemmas driving the changes, and the situated ideational and practice dynamics influencing agents’ construction of a way forward.I find that conflicting traditions created a dilemma for Australia, which sought to maintain the advantages of the free labour-market whilst minimising the problem of granting access to social security and citizenship to those perceived to be unsuitable. Elevated as an irritant in the relationship at the highest political level, this in turn created a dilemma for New Zealand, which perceived both the free movement and further progress towards a single economic market were at risk. Further, I find that in resolving this dilemma, policy agents drew on and reconstructed well-developed traditions in each country and in the trans-Tasman arena. The emerging narrative reveals a complex interplay of strategic behaviour, influenced by ideas and underlying beliefs, which shaped the way a solution to address the desired outcome was reached." @default.
