Global Insight: Kingitanga could bring foreign policy rethink

Global Insight: Kingitanga could bring foreign policy rethink
SHARE

The Kingitanga movement’s increasing influence is prompting a reevaluation of New Zealand’s foreign policy.

Renowned international relations expert Prof Robert Patman suggests that as Kingitanga, now led by Kuini Ngā Wai Hono i te Pō, gains strength, the government will need to prioritize its engagement in the Pacific region and take a more proactive stance in advocating for indigenous rights globally.

During the reign of the late Kingi Tūhetia, significant strides were made towards uniting various iwi under the banner of kotahitanga, or unity. Representatives of the Kingitanga have also been actively fostering relationships with Pasifika leaders, as evidenced by the presence of Pasifika representatives at the recent combined tangihanga for Tūhetia and the coronation of his daughter Ngā Wai Hono i te Pō.

“The continued growth of the Kingitanga movement will have far-reaching implications for New Zealand’s foreign relations,” Prof Patman explains.

“It serves as a reminder to the government that the Treaty of Waitangi is the foundational document of this nation, embodying values of partnership, collaboration, and adherence to principles. The Māori community expects all New Zealand governments to uphold the rights of indigenous peoples.”

This development also has implications for New Zealand’s stance on Gaza, according to Prof Patman.

“The Kingitanga movement anticipates that the government will urge the United States to align its actions with its rhetoric.”

Leaders of Pacific Island nations may leverage the growing influence of the Kingitanga movement to exert pressure on the New Zealand government.

“Our Pacific neighbors could use this as leverage against the government if they feel their fundamental national security concerns, such as climate change, are being overlooked,” Prof Patman notes.

Prof Patman suggests that the government is cognizant of the impact of the Kingitanga movement’s rise on foreign policy.

He also predicts potential tensions within the coalition government regarding Te Tiriti o Waitangi and international alliances.

“New Zealand’s credibility in upholding global rights hinges on honoring the Treaty and fulfilling the aspirations of both Treaty partners.

“There are individuals within the current administration who appear inclined to revert to a time when we were closely aligned with the United States, potentially compromising our unique values and perspectives on global affairs.”
