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.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. ?Economic globalisation is being driven by transnational corporations, which are now the major player in world economics. They?rather than national governments?set the pace of economic change. The anti-globalisation demonstrators are right to identify the problems that some corporations create, such as the exploitation of labour (including child labour), the manipulation of national taxation regimes to avoid paying tax , and the destruction of the environment. They can also play havoc with foreign currency transactions. For example, American banker Andy Krieger was one of the legendary foreign currency speculators in the late 1980s . He speculated particularly on the NZ$ (the ?Kiwi?). On one occasion he sold roughly the entire money supply of New Zealand. New Zealand finance officials privately told him that they did not mind him driving down the price of the Kiwi because it would make exports cheaper and spur economic growth. In other words, this 25 year old trader could do what the government could not?drive down the Kiwi?s value and force economic change on a lethargic business community.? From Keith Suter?s chapter on New Zealand?s role in the Pacific.
