Author: Peter Greener

Abstract
The Defence White Paper 2010 was conceived and written following the global financial crisis at a time when the world faces increasing strategic uncertainty. The White Paper recognises the challenges of the strategic and fiscal environment, and seeks to achieve a balance between strategic preparedness and fiscal prudence. This article examines the central elements of force structure encapsulated within the White Paper, setting out New Zealand’s response preparedness for the next twenty-five years.
