CKNOWLEDGMENTS
We owe a debt of gratitude to a number of people and institutions for assis-
tance in the preparation of this book. The concept for this volume evolved
from the occasion of the 46th University of Otago Foreign Policy School. As
Co-Directors of that School and editors of this book, we wish to acknowl-
edge the substantial support that made this volume possible.
First, we would like to thank our colleagues on the Academic Committee
of the 46th School: Ms Jan Brosnahan, the School Coordinator, Associate
Professor Jenny Bryant-Tokalau, Associate Professor Paul Hansen, Mr Pierce
Lane, Associate Professor Jacqueline Leckie, Mr Eliot Lynch, Mrs Betty
Mason-Parker, Professor Philip Nel, Dr Maria Pozza, Dr Chris Rosin, and Dr
Paola Voci.
Second, the research assistance of Ms Sarah Macindoe, a Master of
International Studies (MIntSt) graduate at the University of Otago, in the
preparation of this volume deserves a special mention. Sarah did an outstand-
ing job in supporting the editors; helping to facilitate coordination and
communication with the contributors to the book; writing a chapter of her
own; and contributing to the multi-authored chapter, which sets the scene
for this volume.
Third, we would like to thank all the contributors to this book. They
constitute a distinguished international team of specialists. They cheerfully
accepted our editorial guidelines and took the time to revise their initial
drafts into polished and stimulating chapters.
Fourth, we wish to express our sincere thanks for the encouraging and
patient support for the project given by the staff at World Scientific
Publishing. That assistance was greatly appreciated by the editors.
Fifth, we wish to thank all those organisations whose support and spon-
sorship played a signifi cant role in bringing together our team of contribu-
tors. Without this support, it would have been diffi cult to develop the idea of
this book. We are grateful to: the Australian High Commission, Wellington;
the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Wellington; the

Programme; the New Zealand Ministry of Research, Science and Technology,

Finally, and most importantly, we should especially like to thank our
families, particularly our partners, Wiebke and Martha. Throughout the
duration of this book, they were supportive in every possible way.
