New Zealand United States Relations

This book aims to make New Zealand and American readers more aware of their countries' links and shared goals... and also their differences. It reviews examples of disagreements and disputes over the past century to show how most of them have been resolved, or at least managed, so that the overall relationship remains mutually beneficial today. Case studies of disputes and their resolution include: Interacting in the Pacific region; Negotiating alliances and defence co-operation; Restricting nuclear weapons and ship visits; Conducting peace support operations; Collaborating in intelligence and logistics; Shaping the United Nations and trade organizations; Negotiating agricultural trade access; Protecting intellectual property.
