| Summary |
New Zealand often plays leading roles in implementing progressive ideas. This book investigates what explanatory factors facilitated the country to become such a relevant normative actor. New Zealands case suggests that democratic institutions, skilled bureaucracy, and ambitious politicians play the crucial roles to create global influence. The case studies included in this book develop the argument that small states can better influence international politics by focusing on domestic issues. In contributing to discourses on New Zealands possible future role, the book is an invaluable resource to intellectuals, researchers, and students alike. Laszlo Szollosi-Cira holds a PhD in Politics from the University of Otago. His academic interests include political theory and political economy |
