Book Description
Debates on security became more intense following the unanticipated end of the Cold War conflict and took on added force after the terrorist attacks on the US on September 11, 2001. Generally viewed as a part of the wider 'West' despite its separation by enormous geographical distances from both Europe and the United States, Australia is a regional power in its own right. It has been an active and loyal member of the US-led coalitions of the willing, first in Afghanistan and then in Iraq. The terrorist attacks in Bali one year after the attacks in the United States brought home to Australia the direct nature of the new global terrorist threats to its own security. This volume brings together leading experts on international security and Australia's foreign and security policies in a critical examination of Australia's adaptations to the new security challenges. It is the first in-depth and comprehensive analysis of Australia's defence and security policies as well as the country's role in countering regional and global challenges to international security since the war on terrorism began.

Book Description
The world has changed swiftly for Australia since the terrorist attacks on the USA on September 11, 2001, the 2002 Bali bombings and the explosion outside the Australian Embassy in Jakarta in 2004. Security against terrorism has leapt to prominence in Australia's foreign policy. A fundamental structural change in world affairs is also occurring, as economic activity becomes increasingly globalised. International financial markets now determine economic development, and international financial institutions police the global economy. China is becoming a key trading partner for Australia. In a completely revised and updated edition, Australia in International Politics shows how the nation is responding to these changes. The book describes how Australian foreign policy has evolved since Federation and how it is now made. It explains Australian economic initiatives such as the Cairns Group and the Free Trade Agreement with the USA in the context of globalisation, and points to the intrusive nature of contemporary free trade. It examines recent issues such as Australia's military involvement in East Timor, Iraq, and Solomon Islands, the shift to a new engagement in the South Pacific, good governance' in Australia's foreign aid program, Australia's partial withdrawal from the UN human rights treaty system, the refugee issue, and the decision not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol on climate change. Written by one of Australia's most experienced teachers of international relations, Australia in International Politics explains Australian foreign policy in a highly accessible manner to students encountering the subject for the first time. one of the best books on Australian foreign policy that I have read in recent years'Samuel M.

Book Description
This book examines the impact of Australian public opinion towards defence and foreign policy from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. For most of this period, the public showed little interest in defence and security policy and possessed limited knowledge about the strategic options available. The principal post-war exception to this pattern is, of course, the Vietnam War, when political divisions over Australia’s support for the U.S.-led action eventually resulted in the withdrawal of troops in 1972. The period since 2001 has seen a fundamental change both in the public’s views of defence and foreign affairs, and in how these issues are debated by political elites. This has come about as a result of major changes in the strategic environment such as a heightened public awareness of terrorism, party political divisions over Australia’s military commitment to the 2003-11 Iraq War and the increasing overlap of economic and trade considerations with defence and foreign policies, which has increased the public’s interest in these issues. Combining the expertise of one of Australia's foremost scholars of public opinion with that of an expert of international relations, particularly as pertains to Australia in Asia, this book will be a critical read for those wishing to understand Australia's alliance with the U.S., interactions with Asia and China, and the distinctive challenges posed to Australia by its geographic position.

Book Description
Sea level rises pose a greater long term threat to Australia's coastline and major capital cities than a military attack by a foreign power. Citizens are more likely to experience a pandemic virus than a nuclear threat. Food shortages have already occurred as a result of flood or drought, and the tentacles of international trade in drugs, money laundering and human trafficking already reach far into Australian communities. Why Human Security Matters argues that Australian external relations needs to treat the 'soft' issues of security as seriously as it treats the 'hard' realities of military defence, but also the many complex situations in-between, whether it be civil war, political upheaval, terrorism or piracy. Australia needs to do this first and foremost in our region, but also in relation to the unresolved regional and global security issues as we confront an increasingly uncertain and turbulent world. With contributions from leading thinkers in foreign policy and strategic studies, Why Human Security Matters is essential reading for anyone seeking a thoughtful and thought-provoking analysis of Australia's place in an age of transition.
