CSCAP - New Zealand

CSCAP:New Zealand is a National Forum of researchers and experts on security issues from throughout New Zealand.  It addresses security issues with significance to New Zealand and its members participate in the region’s CSCAP activities. 

CSCAP New Zealand:

• Provides specialist/intellectual support for New Zealand’s participation in the region’s Track II security network (CSCAP);
• Brings together academics and researchers interested/specialised in security and strategic issues;
• Provides a place for discussion and debate on security and strategic issues including those not covered by CSCAP’s study groups;
• Provides a place for free and frank discussion between New Zealand’s Track II security and strategic studies community and relevant government officials;
• Helps increase broader public awareness and interest within New Zealand of security and strategic issues in the Asia-Pacific region.

Members of the National Forum meet annually.  Members are encouraged to contribute to CSCAP’s regional study groups and to be active in fostering national discussion on security matters which impact on New Zealand.

An Advisory Committee, comprising representatives of Victoria University, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Ministry of Defence and the New Zealand Defence Force, provides overarching advice.  The Centre for Strategic Studies at Victoria University provides the secretariat for CSCAP New Zealand.
