内容説明
This book examines the New Zealand Labour government's policy banning nuclear powered and armed warships from the country's ports. It comprises a case-study of the pressure put on the government by the United States to reverse this policy. The policy is first placed in New Zealand's historical and social context and the immediate steps leading to its implementation described. There follows a discussion of US, British and Australian opposition to the ban (focusing on the US) and the options available to overturn it. The volume contains a detailed chronology of events as they happened during the first term of government until the general election of 1987 (including the sinking of "The Rainbow Warrior" in Auckland Harbour) and concludes with a discussion of the issues raised and of the apparent failure of opposition to the ban.
