New Zealand’s Future Defence Force: Change or Stagnation?
Author: Zhivan Alach
Volume 2, Number 3 (October 2006), pp. 63-76.
Abstract
The strategic environment of the period to 2020 is likely to be characterised by the same issues that have emerged since the end of the Cold War, including terrorism, globalisation, the Revolution in Military Affairs, and the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) will have difficulties fulfilling policy objectives in this environment. Several recommendations, oriented towards likely land-based tasks, would improve the NZDF’s performance. However, they are unlikely to be adopted due to resource constraints and structural barriers.
