Beyond New Zealand - The Foreign Policy of a Small State

Secondhand condition. Sun fading to spine and back cover. Inscription in pen on first page and foxing to pages.

Edited by John Henderson, Keith Jackson and Richard Kennaway.

The story of New Zealand foreign policy in the 1970s is one of inscreasing independence and rapid change as a small country achieves nationhood. New Zealand's roles in the Pacific and in Asia have altered dramatically: there have been significant changes in her relationships with Britain, the United States, and Australia: and the traditional patterns of trade and defence have been radically reformed.

There are some of the areas covered in this, the first comprehensive book of readings on New Zealand policy. The variety of contributors - including academics, diplomats and journalists, as well as the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and the Secretary of Defence - ensures a range of critical perspectives on important and sometimes controversial issues.

The contributions are organised around the theme of the foreign policy of a small state, and will be of particular interest to students of comparitive foreign policy. But the concise and lively treatment of issues crucial to the future of New Zealand should be of interest to all concerned for the country's welfare.
