Notwithstanding New Zealand's discrete place and relative isolation in the world, what was once termed the 'tyranny of distance' applies no longer to the country's external relations. There is a pressing need for New Zealanders to have a deeper understanding of the forces that drive global trends and developments, from which their nation is not immune. This selection of writings from Terence O'Brien is a notable contribution to that better appreciation of the impacts of globalisation, from the perspective of a small, internationally-minded, modern and multicultural democracy.
