ABOUT THE BOOK

This volume is the first Indian effort towards understanding various dimensions of the India- New Zealand relationship in the context of the rising power of Asian countries. It is an attempt to develop an Indian perspective on New Zealand as an actor and a stakeholder in the global and regional politics of the Asia-Pacific region. The book offers fresh insights into the various elements of this important relationship and their consequent strengths and weakness.
