| Summary/Abstract |
In attempting to foresee the future development of the international system, it is impossible to ignore the salience of the United States and its determination to retain the multiple post-Second World War privileges that accrued to it as the world's sole super-power. The future will be determined by the outcome of its struggle to maintain that privileged position in the face of the resistance to its unique dominance offered by a resurgent China and its ever-closer ally Russia. This destructive confrontation threatens to bring the danger of nuclear warfare to the fore and the continued survival of the global civilisation into question.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since the end of the Cold War, the nature and purpose of the Western alliance, of which New Zealand has by long established tradition been a member, has undergone significant change; so, too, have New Zealand's commercial interests and trading patterns. New Zealand now faces significant costs from its continued membership of a military alliance no longer in perfect harmony with its commercial interests. With the conformity demands of the Western alliance and the country's best commercial interests diverging and soon, possibly, to be pulling in opposite directions, is it time for New Zealand to make a fundamental reappraisal of its positioning?

| Summary/Abstract |
Bush fires are forcing Australia to reconsider its negligent policy on climate change. At the same time, developments in Iraq and Iran point to significant changes in the international balance of power. Despite their economies being dependent on trade with China, Australia and New Zealand still rely for their security on their alliance with the United States. There is a need to reconsider antipodean defence polices in light of America's new China policy of confrontation. Should the United States provoke hostilities, there is no longer any guarantee that it would prevail, or protect the allies it might have embroiled.
