Against the Tide, now in its fifth volume since 1945, examines New Zealand's place in world affairs across two decades of geopolitical, economic, technological and climate shifts. The book questions the narrative of a uniquely troubled world and sets the mid-2020s against the longer arc of New Zealand's international engagement, illuminating what is new and what is long-running in foreign policy challenges.

Editors and contributors—including Sir Peter Gluckman (former Chief Science Advisor), Colin Keating (former UN Ambassador), Bethan Greener (Professor of International Relations, Massey), and others—will present key themes and take questions. Discounted copies available for purchase.
