| Summary/Abstract |
Of New Zealand's fifteen prime ministers since 1945, David Lange has been written about the most in regards to his global diplomacy. He is the one who has written the most insightfully on his own prime ministerial time, particularly about his global diplomacy. Lange gave the Kirk brand--New Zealand as a progressive small state, with a deep internationalism central to our national identity--a new impetus. His standout achievement was in promoting New Zealand's enduring non-nuclear status. He also secured invaluable exposure for New Zealand beyond our traditional audiences in Canberra, London and Washington and repolished New Zealand's good international citizenship credentials

| Summary/Abstract |
Alister McIntosh's 23 years heading the foreign ministry were marked by a relentless quest for New Zealand's 'best and brightest' to secure the necessary quota of top calibre diplomats for the country's fledgling diplomatic service. It was also a considerable test to retain sufficient of those he had found, while winnowing out the weak performers. In the first decade of his tutelage, security vetting was a major challenge. McIntosh reflected in retirement that 1954 had been his hardest year, when he lost eight staff he could ill-afford to let go.

| Summary/Abstract |
When Helen Clark became prime minister her longstanding engagement in world affairs generated high expectations that she would lift New Zealand's global reputation. Her prime ministership had just one iconic moment of global diplomacy - not joining the coalition that intervened militarily in Iraq in March 2003. Clark's prime ministership may not be the pinnacle of her global importance. Her nine years as prime minister became a finishing school for that future. Clark's post-prime ministerial career is better showing off her talents in a role suited to her strengths. She may not have yet peaked.

| Summary/Abstract |
Our prime ministers have been the most important players projecting New Zealand globally. Of the fifteen prime ministers since 1945, Norman Kirk stands out the most. His inspired branding of New Zealand as a progressive small state, with a deep internationalism central to our national identity, was a pinnacle moment for our global diplomacy. He found for us the global role best suited to our strengths - being a good international citizen. The Kirk branding endures, largely because of his outstanding effort. David Lange, Jim Bolger and Helen Clark have backed his branding with strong support performances. Sir Robert Muldoon and John Key have been the only prime ministers who have not committed wholeheartedly to the Kirk brand.
