Researcher""PR" in recent years has been the growing loss of or economic selfrelianc(from an already highly constricted base!

he ironies mltiply The bor Party when goernment cynically implemented"Rogernomics" a radical New Right socioeconomic programme while keeping manyspporters loyal with its nclear free stance It was propelled into its anti-nclear positionby pressre applied by the peace moement and some bor MPs At the timebor gained a measre of foreign policy independence bt proceeded to start sellingot or soereignty in the long term t opened p the economy to oerseas interests Afrther irony lies in the fact that economic accommodation with the U probablyles sened the threat of economic and coert action tactics to destabilize or contry In theend US planners well know that a loss of economic soereignty will also mean the loss o

oera ll freedom From a strategic perspectie the US cold be qietly confident - atleast to some etent

A shown in the Repor between 98 and 988 S inestment in NZ grew from $9million to $86 millio n American inestment in Astralia dring the same period doblefrom $76 billion to $ biion ikewise, Astralian and NZ inestment increasedsbstantially in the US Trade links contine to epand among the "allies"

Another big irony in NZUS relations is that peace moement people hae often drawattenion to closer economic relations between NZ and the US in order to bolster theircase with the pblic They hae maintained that or nclear free stand has not harmetrade and economic relations

While this has been nderstandable enogh there has been little appreciation of a lesswelcome dimension implicated in these growing economic ties Or incipient defenceindstry is a critical means whereby we are being plled into the US militayindstrialcomple PR" has consistently stressed this danger How can we safegard or economicwellbeing and stay nclear free? Hard qestions arise here as US planners watchUltimately the maintenance of independence mst go hand in hand with increasedeconomic selfreliance From the S standpoint we are not going to be able to hae orcake and eat it too To se another cliche the chickens are coming home to roost (and/or the eagle will land to plck the chiCkens!

Socal and Poltcal ChangeThe Stdy Project identified a disjnction between closer contact among ANZUS alliesand yet more indiidalistic national self-images "The contries are coming into mchcloser and broader contact and are being affected by many of the same social cltraleconomic and political forces " For US planners the challenge wold be how to deelopthese commonalities and sppress awkward NZ diergencies For the S the keyqestion is how can it manage the alliance better n the ftre

he AZUS alliance era fostered a mch greater intensity of contact Yet according tothe Stdy Report mtal perceptions among the alliance partners are permeated "bymch ignorance sperficiality and misperception " Significantly there "are also cleardistinctions between pblic attitdes and the opinions of the elite and decision maker"

oncern is epressed that "Astralians and New Zealanders find a good deal to criticie i

what they know abot the United States" Poll dat "demonstrate that pbl ic confidenc[in the S] is relatiel ssceptible to being ndermined" The NZ and Astralian elite"tend to be more ncerned and septical aot U deisin making and reliabili "

4 final chapter cal led "Toward Better Understanding conclusions from the earlierhapters are pulled together So far as the issues of public and elite pereptions go thestud says deeper understanding not only of the soures of information but of thedynamics of these processes would be useful The study also notes that In the case ofNew Zealand one specific question is whether perceptions of merican bullying over thnuclear ships issue are persisting over time and have affected general attitudes toward theUnited States and UN ew Zealand relations

ttitudes in both ustralia and NZ are a topic of interest too A economic integrationnder R proceeds along with greater interdependence in defence wha is the impacof these trends on attitudes toward closer political relations

Similarly s in ce an nverse pattern of knowledge and affinity exists in NZ and N Z ustralian relations(the more New Zealanders know. the more critical thy are thstudy continues its emphasis on sources of information" and of the factrs influencingreactions to these images

better understandig would be valuable to policymakers and on a practical levelmight also help identi means of increasing both he level and the accuracy of knowledgein these societies of the others I n the Summa of Conclusions mention was also made distortions in the information ows and resulting mutual perceptions on all sides" arlierin the Repot there was a reference to ducational interchange including govementsponsored programmes such as the US Fulbright exchanges . Perhaps more UInformation Sevice(gency junkets and "exchanges could help counter distortingperceptions

So the U agenda is pretty well openly declared here: what are the strings which they canpull to enabl e them to get NZ. back in tow For a considerable time now NFK and R"have repeatedly pointed out the means of covert manipulation In what might erhaps betermed a n ew genre of writing - the "preemptive scenario! NFK has identified currentor likely ways that U.S policakers are(or could be working to undermine our nuclearfreedom On the basis of documented experience elsewhere as ell as events or

pocesses relevant to the NZ scene w have warned in our reemptive scenarios of thelikely trends and the apparent strategies and tactics of manipulation The purpose hasbeen to preempt possible subersion b exposing the elements of such actions

Once again we sound the alarm In the situation in which NZ is today howeverconditions are more diffuse complex and fluid Research under an academic guise cansee the function of prviding U.S policymakers with useful information for targetingvulnerable and pliable points For instance we have noted a lot of interest shown by USresearchers in te operations and impact of the NZ media. ith our counts US inspired free market the growing penetration by merican media gives an indication ofust how muh our national identity is going to be under assault in the years to come

Eonomic Structures and Reations

I n its conclusion the Project Study goes on to call for more focused research" on theextent dnamics and effects of economic integration through trade and investment flowsincluding the balance of gains and losses between the smaller and larger partners in suchexchanges" It all sounds eminently reasonable and benign but a hidden agenda isalso eminently reasonable Various media along with NFK and otherobseers/researchers have monitored US machinations on nuclear politics for roughly adecade
