Abstract
This article explores the ideology and practical strategies of organised labour in New Zealand over two decades in order to assess its influence on the pattern of market-oriented policy implementation experienced there since 1984. Through the concept of 'partial regime', changes in the nature of labour relations under successive governments are reviewed and contrasted with the country's longstanding democratic corporatist model. The corporatist tradition is shown to have aided in the creation of a quiescent and accommodationist union movement, which in turn helped allow for an orthodox market-oriented policy package to be implemented in New Zealand.
