The paper aims to explore its genesis, background, roles, functions, political values, motives and goals.
W artykule podjęto się analizy polityki imigracyjnej w Nowej Zelandii. Polityka ta wpływała również na prawo imigracyjne, co odzwierciedla się w tekście. Autor przyjął założenie, że procesy globalizacji, takie jak unifikacja postaw i integracja gospodarcza oraz dywersyfikacja kulturowa, były czynnikami determinującymi rozwiązania przyjęte przez władze brytyjskie i nowozelandzkie w zakresie polityki imigracyjnej w czasie ostatnich 150 lat. To studium skoncentrowane jest na przypadku Polaków, na barierach i możliwościach osiedleńczych, jakie tworzyli politycy i ustawodawca w Aotearoa. Postawiono hipotezę, stanowiącą przypuszczenie, że polityka imigracyjna w Nowej Zelandii i związane z nią ustawodawstwo kreowane były stosownie do priorytetów życia gospodarczego i dominujących ideologii. Dokonana analiza i synteza obejmuje okres od podpisania traktatu z Waitangi (1840 r.) do 2015 r.
