dc.description.abstract |
In July 1966 the French began their nuclear testing progrannne in the Pacific. Existing
New Zealand anti-nuclear sentiment was now given a strong local dimension, and
opposition to the French tests would soon become culturally salient to all New
Zealanders. Between 1963, when the French first armounced that their testing
progrannne would move to French Polynesia from their former testing ground in the
Sahara, to 1973, the year of New Zealand's bold actions against the French, marks a
fascinating period ofNew Zealand's international relations.
From the study ofthis topic, a number ofoverlapping characteristics ofNew Zealand's
foreign policy can be seen. The move away from the foreign policy consensus amongst
New Zealanders was largely inaugurated by the Vietnam War, and this process further
developed over the issue of French nuclear testing in the South Pacific. New Zealand's
two major political parties, National and Labour, could now emphasize their difference
in approach to foreign policy, and in doing so a new independence in international
relations developed. |
