THE PATH TO REFORM
Edited by C. Burns
219 p. 1982. $15.75 plus $1.50 p & p
The Path to Reform, derived from the 1981 Convention of the New

ants and the Public in the 1980's" and continued in the
"Accountability of Executive." Like its predecessors, "The Path to
Reform" reads like a Who's Who of New Zealand public
administrators.

demand for people and skills in the public service. The essentials
of departmental manpower is then discussed followed by a chapter
devoted to the practice of career development and concluding with
a statement on the future development of manpower planning in

THE SURRENDER AND OCCUPATION OF JAPAN
Edited by Robin Kay
DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS
1782 p. 1982. $75.00 plus $4.80 p & p
This is the second of a series of three volumes of documents on
New Zealand's external relations: the first, "The Australian - New
Zealand Agreement 1944", this volume "The Surrender and Occu-
pation of Japan" which covers six divisions of the period, selected
by topic but dealt with chronologically within topics, and reveals
the growing awareness amongst those responsible for a New Zealand
policy of what New Zealand's interest actually were; the third vol-
ume, "The ANZUS Pact and the Treaty of Peace With Japan", not
yet published, will show something of the new order of things in
the Pacific and the difficulties in the role of a small, though articu-
late, power in the formation of what in fact were Great Power
policies.
