In particular, the writer wishes to thank those members of the New Zealand Trade Union Movement for answering the questionnaires and facilitating the interviews; Mr.F.L.J. Young for his guidance and advice throughout the preparation of the thesis; Mr.Ashton Wylie for his help in the preparation of the questionnaires and his valuable comments; and Mrs. Pam Fookes of the External Affairs Department for her assistance in securing the necessary funds from the Department. Last but not least, the writer thanks his wife for her patience and understanding throughout the long hours of writing.
