Prudence, Pragmatism and Principle examines New Zealand's approach
to national security by taking the country's own definition of
security and examining each of the components within that
definition to determine what the country has or has not done to
achieve security.The book highlights the centralised
all-of-government approach to achieving security policy and its
more distributed and focused approach to responding to national
security issues. It also evaluates the degree to which the country
chooses to follow a path of prudence, pragmatism or principle in
achieving its security. The emphasis on each of those is different
according to the issue.The author first presents the development of
New Zealand's thinking about security issues and the structure of
the national security system. He then delves into case studies of
security concern including the national demand for security,
international disorder, New Zealand's immediate region and its
security, disruptions in the domestic sphere, and natural hazards
as a security issue. The final substantive chapter examines how New
Zealand works to achieve its security goal of the freedom of
citizens 'to make the most of opportunities to advance their way of
life'; an unusual national security goal and one that is difficult
to achieve or even to define.
