Sociocultural paradigm in development of a system ensuring societal security in New Zealand

The paper considers the security and societal security concepts as the social philosophy categories that determine the basic conditions of existence of an individual and the society. It shows that the sociocultural paradigm in New Zealand is unique in its conceptual content and is based on the ontology and axiology of a small island state, as well as on the special mentality that absorbs elements of the Anglo-Saxon mental paradigm, i.e. mentality of the white immigrants to New Zealand. They are Pakeha, who developed the country and acquired special qualities, and many conceptual complexes of the Maori, the original inhabitants of these islands. The paper notes that as a result of complex diffusion processes in cross-cultural communication and due to peculiarities of the geographical, historical and political conditions in New Zealand, a special sociocultural mental matrix is created in the country that traditionally could be called the Kiwi mentality. The paper concludes that specifics of this matrix are particularly clearly manifest in methods and mechanisms, which form the basis for the system of ensuring societal security at the state level in New Zealand.
