    New Zealand, Australia and the Asia-Pacific strategic balance: from trade agreements to defence white papers: Robert Ayson discusses New Zealand's approach to security in a changing world.
    in New Zealand International Review , January 1, 2011 ,  2011
    As global power shifts towards Asia and the Asia-Pacific balance itself changes, New Zealand's strategic positioning becomes an important priority. Evidence of New Zealand's positioning can be found in the quest for free trade agreements with all of the major regional powers, and in our involvement in regional multilateralism where our South-east Asian partners are engaging the big powers simultaneously. The new defence white paper recognises New Zealand's interest in building a stronger relationship with the United States while accommodating a rising China. This is accompanied by a strong commitment to the Australia alliance, including co-operation on South Pacific security.
