| Summary |
"This book considers the changing nature of Australia's identity and role in the Asia-Pacific, and the forces behind these developments, with particular attention towards security alignments and alliance relationships. It outlines the contours of Australia's traditional role as a key regional middle power and the patterns of its heavy reliance on security alignments and alliances." "Overall, this book provides an incisive examination of Australia's changing role as a regional Asia-Pacific power in an era of great regional and global upheaval."--BOOK JACKET |
