“…By the mid-1960s Japan had caught up with Britain as a market for Australian exports, and it easily surpassed Britain in 1970. Australia was fortunate to possess large deposits of minerals which the Japanese were eager to import (Rix, 1986: 149^56;Holmes 1967;Castle, 1968). New Zealand, with its greater reliance on a narrow range of animal products, had less to offer a highly protectionist Japan.…”

New Zealand's special economic relationship with Britain was brought into question during the 1950s. The subsidization of British farmers, and the dumping of foreign food surpluses in the UK, made New Zealand's traditional market seem increasingly insecure. Wellington responded by seeking supplementary outlets, and in 1958 a commercial treaty was signed between New Zealand and Japan, despite the alarm of British manufacturers. New Zealand's trade with Japan grew after 1958, although it failed to grow as quickly as trade between Australia and Japan. The Japanese were reluctant to import many animal products. This article explains the process by which Japan and New Zealand arrived at a compromise, which enabled trade to develop without seriously damaging the interests of protected groups in either country.

“…Manning Clark's History of Australia there are only 13 index citations of New Zealand, or eight per thousand pages, and only one reference after the year 1838 (Clark, 1962-78). ' Economists and economic historians have commented on the economic links (Burtt, 1979;Dowie, 1963;Holmes, 1967;Lloyd, 1971Lloyd, ,1976McDougall, 1966;Thomas, 1980) and students of politics and international relations have contributed a few articles (Miller, 1968;Robinson, 1964, Sinclair, 1968. More recently, Alan and Robin Bumett in Canberra have been very active in pursuing research on intergovernmental and trading relationships (Burnett, 1978, 198 1).…”

Although geographers frequently claim an interest in the study of spatial interactions there are few wide ranging studies of relationships between specific areas or countries. Australian and New Zealand geographers have treated their countries' inter‐relationships as marginal asides rather than as serious research themes. From a wide possible agenda the following aspects of trans‐Tasman relationships are examined: the interchange of plants and animals. New Zealand's nineteenth century peripheral relationship to a southeast Australian economic ‘core’, legislative borrowings concerning land and resources administration, population movements and trade connections. Since World War II growing cultural and political divergences have made the Tasman nations cautious about pursuing closer economic relationships.
