| Summary: | "lhs report seeks to identify and assess the drivers motivating New /xaland's involvement in the Antarctic region. For the purpose of this report drivers are defined as 'underlying motivations or stimuli that instigate an action that is perceived to have positive outcomes for New Zealand'. Drivers instigating New Zealand's involvement in the Antarctic occur on two main levels: international and domestic. In order to analyse drivers occurring both at the international and at the domestic level, New Zealand's foreign policy development towards the Antarctic is related to the theories proffered by Maslow (cited in Smelser and Baltes, 2001 : 5280) on the hierarchy of needs and by East (1978) on the foreign policy characteristics of small states (East, 1973, 1978; Henderson, 1980, 1991).
