Country survey XVII: New zealand's defence policy

J. Alexander, Alan King and W. Robert

Defence and Peace Economics, 2002, vol. 13, issue 4, 287-309

Abstract: New Zealand's current defence strategy, first expressed in NZ Government (1991), is one of "self-reliance in partnership". We outline the country's defence policy in historical context, examine its current defence expenditure and capabilities, and document the genesis of recent major changes in security policy. We pay particular attention to the role of explicit economic analysis and advice in the formation of these policy changes.
