On the eve of the 2011 New Zealand general election it was appropriate for NZIIA to host an opportunity for a serious public discussion of the scale and complexity of the global trends impacting on New Zealand’s well-being or with capacity to do so. Given the volatility of the international landscape, the occasion could be used to ask: what scope and means might there be for New Zealand to influence the attitudes and behaviour of others beyond our borders, on issues that truly matter to the country? Recognising that in the main New Zealand had only soft power resources available to it to exert such influence.
