Why Is Our Military in Afghanistan? Is it possible to know why?

Does New Zealand have a coherent foreign policy? Or do we have merely a series of pragmatic reactions to events of the moment?
And, in the study of foreign policy, do we have a field of study that is any more ‘scientific’ than the pseudo-sciences of economics and psychology?

To address these -- and other similar matters -- next weeks edition of In Conversation with Noel Cheer on Triangle/Stratos Television presents these questions to a specialist in foreign policy analysis at the University of Auckland – Associate Professor Stephen Hoadley.
