Description:
The twelfth volume in this definitive series on Australia?s foreign policy charts Australian foreign policymakers? efforts to navigate an increasingly unpredictable international environment. A shifting environment in which established and long-held Australian conceptions of international politics appear to be challenged due to the rise of China and the intensification of a host of ?non-traditional? security concerns, such as Islamic State, climate change and, for some, irregular migration. It describes the years between 2011 and 2015, a period of considerable domestic political instability in which Australia had four prime ministers, two removed by their own parties, and three foreign ministers, as characterised by economic and security volatility, globally and regionally ? ?the old order is dying, the new struggling to be born?. The thematic chapters cover and analyse major developments in important areas of foreign policy and are written by some of the foremost experts working in Australia today.
