Download or read book Defending New Zealand written by James Grant Rolfe and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In six chapters James Rolfe analyses the defence policy system in detail. He describes the organisation of defence, discusses the evolution of the policy-setting parts of the organisation, and then concentrates on the processes used to make policy decisions and the factors which policy makers consider to be important. The book employs examples from a wide range of issues and events of the last 20 years and includes details on alliance relationships and how they are managed, troop deployments and the background to equipment decisions. This is the first study of New Zealand's defence policy system. It is completely up to date and the arugments in it are pertinent to current debates about the necessity for defence and defence capabilties." -- Back cover.

Book Synopsis New Zealand Prepares for War by : William David McIntyre
Download or read book New Zealand Prepares for War written by William David McIntyre and published by University of Canterbury, Canterbury University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a small country prepare for war? How well prepared was New Zealand in 1939? ... this is the first comprehensive study of defence policy in peace-time. It considers everything from the grand strategy of alliances to military organisation and 'nuts and bolts". It poses vital questions which all Governments have to face. What must we defend? What can be threatened? Who might have the motive and the capacity to pose a threat? What circumstances might permit an attack? How could an enemy be deterred? If deterrence fails, how can an attack be countered? What allies will assist? David McIntyre shows, from files in the National Archives and surviving private papers, that between 1919 and 1939 successive New Zealand governments identified the Dominion's security with that of the British Empire by planning to send land and air expeditionary forces to help the British and by building a small navy as a "Division of the Royal Navy". New Zealand even helped to pay for the Singapore Naval Base. Yet German rearmament in the 1930s and aggressive acts by Japan and Italy cast doubts on imperial strategy. At the same time New Zealand was increasingly pre-occupied with the strategic position of the Pacific Islands. Not only were the Dominion's forces called on in four "police actions" in the islands, but there was an extraordinary dispute with the USA over the possession of numerous small islands, and New Zealand accepted responsibility for the defence of some of Britain's island colonies. Included in this study are fascinating glimpses of some great personalities -- such as Carl Berendsen, who was a one man ministry of foreign affairs, General Sinclair Burgess, who modernised the army, and Group-Captain Cochrane, the first Chief of Air Staff. We follow the running debate over compulsory military training ; observe the role of the armed services during civil disturbances; and see Bill Jordan's dramatic contributions in the League of Nations in the late 1930s. A concluding survey of the war effort, 1939-45, considers whether New Zealand prepared for the "right" war."--Inside front cover.

Book Synopsis How to Defend Australia by : Hugh White
Download or read book How to Defend Australia written by Hugh White and published by La Trobe University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and important book about Australia’s future Can Australia defend itself in the Asian century? How seriously ought we take the risk of war? Do we want to remain a middle power? What kind of strategy, and what Australian Defence Force, do we need? In this groundbreaking book, Hugh White considers these questions and more. With exceptional clarity and frankness, he makes the case for a reconceived defence of Australia. Along the way he offers intriguing insights into history, technology and the Australian way of war. Hugh White is the country’s most provocative, revelatory and yet realistic commentator on Australia’s strategic and defence orientation. In an age of power politics and armed rivalry in Asia, it is time for fresh thinking. In this controversial and persuasive contribution, White sets new terms for one of the most crucial conversations Australia needs to have. ‘This book, by one of Australia’s leading defence policy thinkers, will be a very important contribution to our national discussion in coming years. Hugh White tackles many challenging issues and opens up the new debate that we need to have as Australia plots its course through a changing international environment.’—Robert O’Neill, former Chichele Professor of the history of war, University of Oxford ‘Hugh White is among our most knowledgeable and practised strategists. While I am strongly supportive of the US alliance, How to Defend Australia is a serious work from a serious patriot that requires close reading. It deserves a wide audience.’—Kim Beazley

Book Synopsis Defense and Security in New Zealand by : Kevin Riordan
Download or read book Defense and Security in New Zealand written by Kevin Riordan and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legal aspects of New Zealands defence and security are too easily taken for granted. A cursory review of this countrys history reveals, however, that protecting this nation from threats to its security has had a significant impact on New Zealand and on its people from the earliest times until now. The law now impinges every aspect of this important subject, both at the domestic and international level. This is a unique and unparalleled work condensing the myriad facets and aspects of the New Zealand Defence Force, military discipline, peace support operations, cyber warfare/security and veterans with New Zealands experience and responsibilities in the international arena including protection of victims of war, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Defence, Security and the Law will be an indispensable resource for practitioners with an interest in intelligence and security, the law relating to the armed forces, as well as international law and its subtopics, academics in both areas and of course defence forces, agencies and NGOs in New Zealand and abroad.

Book Synopsis Defence Planning and Uncertainty by : Stephan Frühling
Download or read book Defence Planning and Uncertainty written by Stephan Frühling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can countries decide what kind of military forces they need, if threats are uncertain and history is full of strategic surprises? This is a question that is more pertinent than ever, as countries across the Asia-Pacific are faced with the military and economic rise of China. Uncertainty is inherent in defence planning, but different types of uncertainty mean that countries need to approach decisions about military force structure in different ways. This book examines four different basic frameworks for defence planning, and demonstrates how states can make decisions coherently about the structure and posture of their defence forces despite strategic uncertainty. It draws on case studies from the United States, Australian and New Zealand, each of which developed key concepts for their particular circumstances and risk perception in Asia. Success as well as failure in developing coherent defence planning frameworks holds lessons for the United States and other countries as they consider how best to structure their military forces for the uncertain challenges of the future.
