About this ebook

Pithy and reflective, this book highlights the key economic and political issues that Australia should currently be considering as a Western country geographically and economically tied to Asia. For the first time in history, Australia will be uncomfortably close to the designs and demarches of competing great powers, and this book argues that rather than continuing to be insular and introspective, Australia needs to take the initiative in global affairs. This highly readable and relevant book by one of Australia's best and most prominent thinkers calls for a renewed public engagement and debate regarding the future of the continent's foreign policy.
