Author Description

"This collection of essays explores, analyzes and critically evaluates the interaction between New Zealand's sovereignty and what is widely regarded as a globalizing world. The volume explores three inter-related lines of enquiry in particular. It examines how globalization has impacted on the policy-making apparatus of the New Zealand state; it investigates how New Zealand's political culture, including its sense of national identity, has developed during the era of globalization; and it considers the extent to which New Zealand's role on the international stage has been affected by globalization. The editors and contributors provide insight into New Zealand's sovereignty in the light of globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
