Abstract

Abstract:This article traces the response of the New Zealand government to successive military coups in Fiji in 1987, 2000, and 2006 in the specific context of rugby contacts between the two countries and the strong nexus between rugby and political power in Fiji. It argues that the emergence of market-driven and globally focused sporting structures over the last three decades has fundamentally altered the relationship between sport and politics in New Zealand and the nature of sanctions it is willing to deploy—especially when compared with earlier debates over bilateral contact with apartheid South Africa.

摘要:本文追溯了新西兰政府对1987年、2000年和2006年斐济连续军事政变的反应，在两国橄榄球接触的特定背景下，以及橄榄球与斐济政治权力之间的紧密联系。它认为，在过去的三十年中，市场驱动和全球关注的体育结构的出现从根本上改变了新西兰体育与政治之间的关系，以及它愿意部署的制裁的性质——特别是与早期与种族隔离的南非进行双边接触的辩论相比。
