It is based on years of research but it is also an original and thought provoking work which consistently takes a broader view. Malcolm McKinnon looks critically at the idea of independence in New Zealand's foreign policy, exploring the way New Zealanders thought about independence as well as the kinds of independence most commonly pursued and their implications in practice. He considers economic as well as political international relations; and he does not limit himself to official sources -- New Zealand public opinion plays an important role. While the focus of the first part of the book is the Second World War, the later chapters give illuminating insights into some recent issues in New Zealand foreign policy, such as the Vietnam War, relations with South Africa and the Pacific, and the anti-nuclear movement." -- Back cover Analysis Commonwealth countries Foreign policy alignment History New Zealand Overseas item Notes Includes index Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 302-315) and index SUBJECT Australia -- Foreign relations http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85009588 -- New Zealand. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79021322 New Zealand -- Foreign relations -- 1945- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091502 New Zealand -- Foreign relations http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091501 -- Asia. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85008606 New Zealand -- Foreign relations http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091501 -- Great Britain. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79023147 New Zealand -- Foreign relations http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091501 -- History. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 New Zealand -- Foreign relations http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091501 -- South Africa New Zealand -- Foreign relations http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091501 -- 1935- New Zealand -- Foreign relations http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091501 -- Australia. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79021326 New Zealand -- Foreign relations. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85091501 New Zealand -- History -- 20th century. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh87006597 LC no. 93180960 ISBN 1869400704 (paperback)
