Consolations of Insignificance

A New Zealand Diplomatic Memoir

About this book

A revealing memoir of a New Zealand diplomat's journey through 20th-century international relations.

Terence O'Brien, a dedicated New Zealander, recounts his 50-year career navigating the complexities of global diplomacy. From establishing New Zealand's embassy in China to securing trade agreements and addressing nuclear-free policy challenges, O'Brien offers a unique perspective on New Zealand's role on the world stage.

Bursting with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, this memoir provides insight into how a small nation leveraged its 'insignificance' to achieve significant results. Perfect for professionals, scholars, and anyone interested in political science, history, and the art of diplomacy.
