Description
Offers a portrait of New Zealand informed by the author's own involvement in its history. Presents six main topics in New Zealand's evolution, including the importance of the role of government. Shows its transition from a recently inhabited territory that was once part of a world-wide European empire to an independent and innovative society that enbraces its geography and identifies with the Pacific region. Places New Zealand's evolution in an international context, and invites readers to consider contrasts and similarities with China's own past and present.--Cover.
