| Summary/Abstract |
Globalisation is transforming the world. The causes are varied, but they include destabilising repercussions of globalisation alongside regional, ethnic and religious hostility. The changes have placed an even higher premium on accepted rules to govern predictable international behaviour. New Zealand must adjust its external policies to this threshold moment. It must urge a greater role for the growing powers like China in the management of the world economy and reaffirm the primacy of the rule of international law, especially as it seeks to tighten ties with the United States. New Zealand's efforts to be a good international citizen will be tested later in the year when its bid for a Security Council seat is resolved.
