Abstract

In addition to the British and German cases, this chapter examines the effects of institutional change on the economic structures of New Zealand. New Zealand, having undertaken a rare change from a first-past-the-post (FPP) electoral system to a mixed-member proportional (MMP) system, proves a useful natural experiment to test the hypotheses that political institutions shape the political economy of advanced industrial democracies. In the 1980s, under FPP, New Zealand underwent drastic neoliberal reforms. I contend that the New Zealand government was able to pass such sweeping reforms due to the majoritarian nature of New Zealand’s political system.
