Summary

"As the tempo of the arms race increases and superpower confrontation in the Northern Hemisphere brings growing fear of nuclear war, we in this country have reason to look carefully at our own place in the strategic jigsaw puzzle. Where does our basic security lie? Has the concept of collective security through the United Nations gone with the wind? What are the final implications for New Zealand in its alliance with a great nuclear power? Is it really a safe defence? What are the alternatives? For good reason, the defence treaty known as ANZUS, so often designated by our politicians as a "cornerstone", has been subjected to increasing scritiny ... the New Zealand Foundation for Peace Studies decided it was high time to update its 1977 publication "Alternatives to ANZUS" and presents herewith a revision of it. We do not believe it to be the last word on the matter but we hope it will stimulate discussion and debate ..." -- Foreword.
