Max Harris - Reclaiming an Independent Foreign Policy
31 May - AKL
New Zealand has drifted from its commitment to independent foreign policy in recent years. This talk explains that
recent history - and sets out the elements of an effective, independent foreign policy. It then makes some practical
suggestions about new directions for New Zealand foreign policy. The overall aim is to emphasise that a values-based
vision for New Zealand's place in the world is a key part of a progressive agenda for government.
Max Harris is currently undertaking a doctorate in constitutional law at Oxford. He completed his BA/LLB with honours in

Court, spent time working for Helen Clark at the United Nations, had a short stint at the American Civil Liberties Union
and spent time in South Australia as a speechwriting intern for the state government.
