New Zealand Institute of International Affairs - ANNUAL REPORT 2014

N EW Z EA L AN D I N ST I T UT E O F I NT ER N AT I O NA L AF F AI R S

Mission Statement and Purpose The New Zealand Institute of International Affairs provides an independent forum for discussion of international issues especially as they affect New Zealand. The Institute does not advocate any particular policy nor does it express opinions. It is not a lobby group. The Institute is registered as a charitable trust.

The Institute’s National Office is located at Victoria University of Wellington (VUW). It organises major seminars, publishes books on international relations and a bi-monthly journal, the ‘New Zealand International Review’, and annually hosts around 30 events and discussions on regional and global topics. Separate programmes, mainly regular talks by visiting speakers, are run by the ten branches in Auckland, Waikato, Tauranga, Hawke’s Bay, Palmerston North, Wairarapa, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch and Timaru. Total individual membership is a little over four hundred.

In 2014 the National Office had the support of 31 Corporate members and 48 Institutional members. These categories of membership include private companies, trade associations, government departments, crown entities, diplomatic missions in Wellington, research institutes and universities. They are listed in each issue of the ‘New Zealand International Review’. In addition the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Victoria University of Wellington provide invaluable support for the operation of the Institute.

Foreword by the President

_________________________________________________________ We can look back on our 80th anniversary year in 2014 as a successful opportunity to profile the Institute through a series of significant events. In particular, being the selected host for the Prime Minister’s major speech on domestic and international security ensured that our name and logo made it prominently to a number of television news broadcasts. The fact that this was the second time in 2014 the Prime Minister had spoken to the Institute – and that earlier in the year Rt Hon Winston Peters participated in our Political Leaders Series - confirms the good relations that the National Office has with Parliament. A large number of impressive overseas visitors also gave public lectures including the President of Poland’s National Bank, Professor (and former Prime Minister) Marek Belka, UN High Representative for Disarmament Angela Kane and WTO Director General Roberto Azevedo. Mixed amongst these high profile speakers were some excellent commentators on the Middle East, such as Israel’s Dr Jonathan Spyer and Ehud Yaari, with perspectives from a different direction offered by Iran’s Ambassador Seyed Majid Tafreshi Khameneh and Seyed Taghi Derhami.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT

Yet some of the talks and panel discussions that had the most impact were on topics that do not dominate the daily headlines. For example a deeply moving discussion on the Rwanda massacre, and its aftermath, featured Rwandan High Commissioner Dr Charles Murigande, Judge Jonathan Moses and Colin Keating (who played a key part in the Security Council discussion of this tragedy). This was ably moderated by Radio NZ’s Kim Hill, who subsequently had Dr Murigandi as a guest on her programme. Another most interesting event was the presentation by Colonel Dr. Hans-Hubertus Mack, Director, Bundeswehr Center of Military History and Social Sciences on “A challenging legacy: memories of the First World War in Germany“. This was the first in a series of lectures in our new remembrance series.

The National Office seeks to provide a broad range of public lectures within its annual programme. In 2014 these extended from democratisation in Indonesia to responsibility to protect (an excellent talk from Oxford’s Professor Rosemary Foot). In addition we co-hosted panel discussions with other bodies such as the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies on topics like globalization and sovereignty. A significant panel discussion on Latin America, cohosted with the Latin American NZ Business Council and VILLA, occurred earlier in the year chaired by our Vice President Professor Rob Rabel. It was opened by Trade

2

Minister Tim Groser and included ambassadors from three Latin American partners.

To celebrate our 80th anniversary in style a most enjoyable black tie dinner was held at Government House in June hosted by the Governor General Sir Gerry Mataparae and Lady Mataparae. Scott Thomson, the founding chair of our Wairarapa Branch, was elevated to Life Membership. At our National Council meeting the following day we remembered also John Scott, Honorary Vice president and former Director who sadly passed away earlier in 2014.

An encouraging feature of many of our events in 2014 was increased participation by students and younger people. I should like to encourage our branches to continue to reach out to those just beginning their careers to ensure that membership of the Institute grows and is re-vitalized in the decades ahead.

Report of the Executive Director

_________________________________________________________ 2014 saw a range of lectures and other events on topics very much to the forefront of New Zealand’s global interests and concerns from Syria and the rise of ISIS/ISIL to our economic challenges in the APEC region. There is a healthy demand for informed perspectives on such matters. But we drew good audiences also for events such as our remembrance series initiated by the Director of the Budeswehr Centre of Military History on Germany’s legacy from the First World War and the Kim Hill moderated panel discussion marking the commemoration of the Rwanda genocide.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT

We rely on the strength of New Zealand’s international relations to draw to these shores international leaders such as the Director General of the WTO and the UN High Representative for Disarmament. It is the Institute’s own standing with parliament and others in the community that assists us in getting high profile domestic speakers like Rt Hon Winston Peters and the Prime Minister (twice). Fittingly our 80th anniversary annual dinner was held at Government House at which the Governor General gave the keynote speech. Strong support for these events suggests that a broad range of topics, addressed by knowledgeable practitioners, is a winning formula. But I believe also that the fact that we now carry on our website a calendar of events that covers both the national office and branches, and a system of registration for special events that is very easy to navigate, has encouraged a greater interest, especially by younger people. Certainly the feedback we have received on the website – and the programme generally - has been universally positive.

I am pleased to report that the operation of the National Office is running well.

Over the past two years measures to improve the performance of the Institute have included, in addition to the website, the adoption of a more efficient Xero accounting system and the introduction of a modern logo. In addition to allowing for on-line registration for events the website provides also for on-line purchases of publications. With respect to the latter this has extended to the provision of digital versions of the New Zealand International Review which is a development that ultimately ought to mitigate rising printing costs.

In 2014 we negotiated a major additional funding stream under the umbrella of the EU Centres Network. This provides for the staging of events that may have relevance to the EU but cover issues of global interest (for example the Arctic and Antarctica and the sensitive issue of “veiling” of women in contemporary

4

Europe, both of which are topics in our 2015 programme). This is a three year programme that began towards the end of 2014 and it is already having a beneficial effect. The programme allows us to spread our net more widely with respect to keynote speakers and to offer a degree of flexibility on initiating topics that our tightly constrained budget would otherwise make more challenging.

This is likely to be my final National Council meeting. It has been a great experience “embracing debate on issues of global significance� with the President, Vice President, Treasurer and all members of the Institute around the country. Looking back at the individuals who have helped run the NZIIA for over 80 years I am privileged to have been Executive Director. In thanking all of you for your support, I should like to express particular appreciation to Synonne Rajanayagam whose calm and professional approach has helped our small office to run smoothly.

Branch report—AUCKLAND

_________________________________________________________ The Auckland branch has continued with its programme of evening addresses on matters of international relations. The title and speakers for those addresses are advised from time to time in the NZIIA Review.

As has been the custom in an election year, in 2014 the branch hosted a debate among political parties on international relations. Owing to scheduling difficulties as the election approached, neither of the main parties (National and Labour) was able to send a representative. However, the ideological span was well represented by the Mana, Green, United Future, and ACT parties. Indeed, the presence of smaller parties allowed for a more precise delineation of the various strands of thought on foreign policy. In the end, an audience of some 70 attended at the lecture theatre in Old Government House at the University of Auckland.

It may be feasible to run such a debate each year, as an opportunity for the political parties to test and publicise their current ideas on foreign policy.

Otherwise, the branch hosted speakers with whom it came into contact. While the quality of speakers is uniformly high, the size of the audience fluctuates.

Attendance is hard to predict, but addresses outside of China or the Middle East tend to attract smaller numbers. Venue continues to be a problem, as parking is harder to find in the inner city, and traffic flows interfere with access by people outside the area of the inner city and adjacent suburbs.

Unhappily, the links with the University of Auckland have been loosening, first as Dr Jian Yang went into parliament, and now Dr Ashok Sharma is departing the University. So far, a replacement member for the committee has not been identified at the University. The branch intends to retain the links, not least so as to use the University’s facilities.

The present committee consists of Gregory J Thwaite, Noelene Buckland, and Nick Laery. Regrettably, Dr Sharma is leaving Auckland, but is willing to continue to assist in the organisation of the branch from afar.

A happy result of one of the meetings last year is that a small group of people have expressed an interest in the NZIIA. Hopefully they will become involved in the organisation.

Gregory J Thwaite 9 Branch Chairman

2014 ANNUAL REPORT

The loosening of the links with the University (specifically, the Political Studies Department) has meant that fewer students develop an interest in the branch.

This effect has led to the absence of any student in the organisation of the branch.

Branch report—CHRISTCHURCH

_________________________________________________________ Chair: Chris Jones Secretary: Sally Carlton Treasurer & Vice chair: Margaret Sweet Committee members: Hon Peter Penlington; Angela Woodward; John Richardson (co-opted)

With fourteen papers, 2014 proved a busy year for the Christchurch branch. Speakers varied from academics, such as the historians Associate Professors Evgeny Pavlov and Peter Field, to the UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Angela Kane, and the Official Representative of New Caledonia to New Zealand, HE Yves Lafoy. Topics were equally varied and ranged from the current crisis in Ukraine to the European and Indian elections.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT

March 2014 saw the number of registered members at the branch fall to a low of 35, a steep decline from the previous year (77). The fall reflects the considerable disquiet amongst the membership following changes to the subscriptions structure in the course of 2013/14. The Chair, Secretary and Treasurer made representations at the 79th Annual Meeting of the National Council in Wellington (19 June) on this matter, noting that many members felt the cost of the Review a particular burden. As a consequence of considerable work by the Treasurer, a new and more equitable subscription structure has been developed for the branch and it is hoped that this will see membership return to pre-2014 levels. While in Wellington, the office holders also attended a dinner at Government House hosted by the Governor General to mark the 80 th anniversary of the Institute’s foundation.

This year saw the branch strengthen its ties with the University of Canterbury by establishing formal relationships with the National Centre for Research on Europe and the Department of History. In both cases the Christchurch branch has been registered as an official outreach programme. This has led to an increase in the numbers of undergraduate and postgraduate students regularly attending papers and the decision by the committee to co-opt John Richardson, a current Masters student. It has also enabled the NZIIA to continue to make use of University of Canterbury facilities, and to benefit from joint activities arranged via the NCRE and the College of Arts.

The year saw a great deal of change in the Christchurch committee, with the notable departure of long-term stalwarts Professor David McIntyre and his wife Marcia for Wellington as well as Dr Ursula Rack in the middle of the year. The Chair wishes to acknowledge the dedication and service of all three to the branch over many years. He is particularly grateful to the current committee for

10

its tremendous enthusiasm and wishes to note, in particular, the key role played by the Secretary, Dr Sally Carlton, in ensuring the smooth organisation of events. The branch enters 2015 with a clearer arrangement regarding its use of University facilities and the key aim of expanding its current programme of events.

Branch report—HAWKE’S BAY

_________________________________________________________ Our branch held four meetings in 2014. As is the tradition, these were held both in Havelock North and in Napier.

Following our refreshing of the database at the beginning of 2014, we now have about 260 people on it. Of these, about 15 are paid-up members of the Institute.

There remains for us the problem of getting speakers to come to Hawke’s Bay when the branch has very limited financial resources to pay for fares and accommodation. May I repeat the comment I made in last year’s report that it would be good if the National Office could look at ways in which this could be facilitated. Without a university in Hawke’s Bay, there is not the flow of academics and others which those centres which have universities enjoy.

On the other hand, I should report that the visit of the Ambassador of Israel enjoyed overwhelming support. 200 people turned up to hear him in Havelock north and 150 in Napier.

The speakers during 2014 were: 18 Mar

Branch report—PALMERSTON NORTH

_________________________________________________________ The Palmerston North branch continues its operations, with little substantive change from previous years. Special thanks and acknowledgement to Professor Wayne Edwards, Dr Gill Claridge as well as International Pacific College (IPC) for generously providing comfortable conference facilities and sponsoring refreshments for guests. Subscribed membership remains low but seminars are well-attended with staff and students from the College. All of the events were held at IPC and as stated below:

Branch report—TAURANGA

_________________________________________________________ As reported a year ago, the low level of activity in the Tauranga branch is a result of a low membership, and a difficulty in attracting speakers to Tauranga, each of which impacts the other.

Jen Scoular took over the Chair of the branch from Murray Denyer in October 2014, and passes thanks to Murray for setting up the regional branch and attracting current members. Her first activity was to survey current members to understand what they were looking to get out of their membership of NZIIA. The results showed that members were very happy to hear from both political and commercial speakers, being aware that information from different sources all enables better understanding of New Zealand place on the global stage.

As a consequence, we invited Duncan Catanach and Katherine Sandford, current NZTE customer managers who had both recently returned from posts in the US to address the meeting in January.

In March we welcomed Mr Michalis Rokas, the Charge d’Affaires of the European Union Delegation to New Zealand to our meeting, and very much enjoyed his comments.

We are seeking new ways to increase membership in the branch which sits currently at 19.

Branch report—TIMARU

_________________________________________________________ Timaru branch activity continued to be at a low level over the past year however there are encouraging signs for the next year because of responses to invitations we have extended to speakers. Our meetings are held irregularly in response to availability of speakers visiting or passing through the district. We have held our meetings at the South Canterbury Club in the late morning so those attending can stay on for a light lunch - socialising with each other and enjoying more relaxed time with the speakers.

Membership has reduced in the last year. The sad loss of Nancy Hammond who died unexpectedly and the return of her husband, Mo Skiffington to Canada leaves the branch without two enthusiastic supporters. Secretarial, newsletter, and treasurer roles have not changed in the past year. Liaison and cross membership with other groups in Timaru such as the NZ China Friendship Society, Transition Timaru and the active U3A enables wider mixing.

Our thanks again to Synonne at Wellington and to the receipt with envy of emailed activities of other branches.

While we have held few meetings, the calibre of the speakers has been extremely high and we have been delighted to host: Challenges facing Turkey: Domestic uncertainty and foreign policy failure— Prof Bill Harris, University of Otago.

New Caledonia’s Road to Emancipation—Dr Yves Lafoy, Official Representative of New Caledonia to New Zealand.

_________________________________________________________ Branch Committee The last AGM was held on 29 March 2013. Dov Bing continued as President, David Foreman as Treasurer. Simon Gray was elected as Secretary. Brian Main continued as Vice President and Ron Smith as Immediate Past President.

International Review The cost of the International Review has not remained stable. It has risen to the extent that it is now more expensive than the subscription rate, which is why we are going to have to raise the subscription rate in 2014.

Political Science and Public Policy Programmes As usual, the Institute benefitted from the support of Ms Frances Douch and the Programme Convenor, Dr Geoffrey Cupit.

Colleagues It remains for me to thank my colleagues for their steadfast support.

Membership Our membership has remained stable.

It remains for me to thank all members for their support.

Branch report—WAIRARAPA

_________________________________________________________ During the 2014 year meetings have been held approximately monthly.

The committee is grateful that speakers have supported us without a formal speaking fee or expense claims.

Membership has remained reasonably stable at 91 – 29 being couples.

The committee is grateful to the Wairarapa News for continuing to print advance publicity about our meetings and to committee members – frequently Ian Grant – who submit the copy. During the year we have noted a committed core group of members who attend most meetings, and also a wider and shifting section of the public who may be attracted to a particular topic. To meet this public demand, our events are opened to non-members who contribute a $5.00 door charge. Non-members may also join our email list.

After careful consideration, the committee again decided not to increase membership charges. Income from memberships is not quite enough to cover costs – including a modest presentation to speakers – so another very successful fund-raising film session was held.

During the year chairman Derek Milne felt it necessary to step back due to major commitments in the health sector. John Schnellenberg, long-time treasurer handed over responsibility to Aileen Weston as secretary/treasurer.

Scott Thomson took over as acting chair, becoming chairman at the branch annual meeting. Thanks are due to retiring members and all the committee including Rex Fowler as door keeper and technology advisor, and to members who have hosted pre-meeting meals and overnight accommodation for visiting speakers.

Branch report—WELLINGTON

_________________________________________________________ Introduction The Wellington branch has had another active and successful year. We have had 13 speaking engagements which have complemented a very busy National Office year.

Branch meetings Attendance at events has fluctuated between 30 and 200. A variety of topics have covered major issues: New Zealand/UK/Australia relations, ISIS, MH 370 and the Ukraine. Highlights of the year were a trade symposium organised by Brian Lynch, and a ‘Careers without borders’ seminar organised by Eve Bain for university students, which attracted 200 attendees. We appreciate the opportunity to hear from Ambassadors and High Commissioners of the Diplomatic Corps, and visiting speakers from academic or international fora.

Please see the events report for details.

Membership Branch membership for 2014 was down from 238 to 189 and is currently over 130. We are implementing a strategy to maintain a firm membership.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT

Finance report The branch’s finances reflect a favourable balance in our accounts, finishing the year with around a $2,000 surplus. The committee is most grateful to Professor Athol Mann, Chartered Accountant, who has reviewed the Annual Statement of Accounts. I express our appreciation for his voluntary services.

Committee I acknowledge the services of all committee members and the advice and contribution they have made to the branch’s activities. I express my appreciation for the time and effort that each of these committee members have made to the branch. In particular I acknowledge the work of key office holders: Brian Lynch as Vice Chair; Elisabeth Perham as Minutes Secretary, Sheryl Boxall and then Andrew Warden as Events Coordinator, Lauren Wilcock-Breen as Treasurer, Kerry Boyle as Membership Secretary, Tim Wang as Media Secretary and Eve Bain as student representative. During the year we have welcomed onto the committee Dr Joe Burton and Dr Anna Powles. It is with regret that I have accepted Dr Marc Lanteigne, Lauren Wilcock-Breen, and Elisabeth Perham‘s resignations from office. After 11 years on the committee and 8 years as Chair, it is also time for me to stand down. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the committee and wish it every success.

22

Ministry of Foreign Affairs liaison The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade representative Susan Budd, who was replaced by Alison Mann during the year, also contributed to the success of the branch.

National Office Peter Kennedy Executive Director, National Office has regularly attended our committee meetings. National Office support and advice is always welcome and appreciated. I record my thanks also to Ms Synonne Rajanayagam, Executive Officer National Office, in facilitating our activities.

Victoria University Wellington Without the ongoing support of the Victoria University of Wellington, we would not be able to enjoy a high standard of facilities. We are very grateful for this support. I also thank Customs and the New Zealand Defence Force for providing back-up facilities.

Conclusion 2014 was a good year for the branch. We are in sound financial heart, membership is firm, and we have had some excellent speakers. I thank the Committee, National Office, Victoria University of Wellington, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the support from the diplomatic community for their valued engagement. As chair, I advise that we continue to welcome suggestions from the branch’s members on possible speakers and activities.

New Zealand International Review

_________________________________________________________ The Review, which completed its thirty-nine years of publication in 2014, has established itself as an authoritative source of commentary on international affairs. Its standing is reflected in the keenness of authors both here and overseas to be published in it.

No problems were experienced in obtaining copy for the magazine during the year, nor in meeting the bi-monthly deadline for publication.

As previously, the voluntary contribution of the members of the Editorial Committee was a major element in the regular appearance of the magazine. The committee’s full membership was: Andrew Wierzbicki (chairman), Brook Barrington, Bob Bunch, Gerald McGhie, Malcolm McKinnon, Josh Mitchell, Rob Rabel, Shilinka Smith, John Subritzky (left to take up a high commissionership in December) and Ann Trotter. Anthony Smith’s sterling efforts as Book Review Editor were again much appreciated.

As always we appreciated the assistance given to us by Peter Kennedy and Synonne Rajanayagam at the National Office. Their contribution is vital to the Review’s continued viability.

Circulation Circulation figures are provided in the attached statement. These indicate that our circulation has slipped further, mainly because of a major fall in the Wellington branch membership, and smaller falls in Auckland and Christchurch. Most other branches held their own. Nelson was again the standout with an encouraging increase.

Production The same production arrangements as previously were used in 2010. Lovett Graphics typeset and laid out the magazine, and Pivotal+Thames printed it.

Advertising There was no improvement in the advertising situation.

Finance A statement of finance is appended. The figures indicate a deficit of $10,708 — considerably more than the budgeted $6,200. Since production costs came in almost exactly as budgeted, this can be attributed mainly to individual/branch revenue showing a substantial fall below the budgeted figures. This should be a warning sign for the NZIIA as a whole, not just the magazine. It should be borne in mind that part of the deficit is essentially the subsidy that the Institute provides to members’ subscriptions to the magazine.
