New Zealand in a Globalising World

Taken from the papers presented at the fourth Wellington Conference on World Affairs, this collection of essays focuses on New Zealand's role both in the Pacific and in a globalizing world. The chapters include a deconstruction of globalization, an exploration of the role of diplomacy, a discussion of security in Oceania in the post–September 11 era, a survey of international politics with regard to nuclear testing by the French, and an investigation of the differing worldviews held by Australia and New Zealand.
