The trans-Tasman alliance: strengthening Australia-NZ security ties


Listen Later

What is the ‘foreign policy reset’ undertaken by New Zealand’s National government, and how does it differ from the previous Labour government’s approach?  

How can New Zealand and Australia strengthen their alliance to face shared security challenges, amidst US uncertainty and strategic competition with China?  

How have recent Chinese activities in the Tasman Sea and the wider Pacific been viewed in New Zealand compared to Australia? What impact are these activities having on New Zealanders’ perceptions of China?  


In this episode, David Capie and Nicholas Khoo join David Andrews to unpack New Zealand’s shifting foreign and defence policy, its approach to China, AUKUS, and its relationship with Australia. 


Professor David Capie is Director of the Centre for Strategic Studies and Professor of International Relations at Victoria University of Wellington. 

Dr Nicholas Khoo is an Associate Professor of International Politics at the University of Otago. 

David Andrews is Senior Manager, Policy & Engagement at the ANU National Security College.
