Introduction
New Zealand Sovereignty in the Era of Globalization

Robert G. Patman and Chris Rudd

Structural changes in the global system have raised a big question mark over a traditional working principle of political life, namely, state sovereignty. Following the end of the Cold War and the subsequent break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, the US has been left as the worlds only superpower. Consequently, the relative power of the US in the international hierarchy has sharply increased, a trend that has prompted some observers to characterize the post-Cold War system as unipolar. At the same time, the post-Cold War world has been subject to deepening globalization, a process that is associated with the growth of international linkages and a reduction in the capacity of nation-states to act independently. These radical changes, according to former United Nations Secretary General, Boutros Boutros Ghali, meant that the time of absolute and exclusive national sovereignty has passed (McKinnon, 1997: 7).

In this introductory chapter, we will explore the parameters of New Zealand sovereignty in a changing global context. The chapter proceeds in five stages. First, we will attempt to delineate the concepts sovereignty and globalization. Second, three competing schools of thought in the sovereigntyglobalization debate are considered. Third, we shall examine the emergence of some of the major features of New Zealand state sovereignty. Fourth, the impact of globalization over the last two decades is mapped out in terms of New Zealands national identity, economic and political engagement, and security and foreign policy dynamics. Finally, some reasons are advanced why, in international terms, New Zealand constitutes a good case study of globalization.
