Opis

This collection of invaluable essays explores, analyzes and critically evaluates the interaction between globalization and New Zealand sovereignty. The volume is the first to seriously address this subject in a systematic fashion. It pursues three interrelated lines of enquiry: the impact of globalization on the policy making machinery of the New Zealand state; the development of New Zealand political culture, including its sense of national identity; during the globalization era; and New Zealand's role on the international stage in a globalizing world. The book reveals the paradoxes of New Zealand's encounter with globalization. It will provide essential reading for specialists of globalization and for general readers interested in the complex national experience of New Zealand.

Recenzje

'...this study provides a useful empirical basis from which to begin the necessary but challenging task of deciphering globalization's impacts upon small, developed democracies such as New Zealand.' The Contemporary Pacific 'This is a worthwhile book that adds to the relatively sparse literature about factors that comprehensively shape New Zealand and its foreign policy in the modern world...the editors are to be commended for shaping and delivering an effectual product.'
