The United States-Australia alliance has been an important component of the US-led system of alliances that has underpinned regional security in the Indo-Pacific since 1945. However, recent geostrategic developments, in particular the rise of the People's Republic of China, have posed significant challenges to this US-led regional order. In turn, the growing strategic competition between these two great powers has generated challenges to the longstanding US-Australia alliance. Both the US and Australia are confronting a changing strategic environment, and, as a result, the alliance needs to respond to the challenges that they face. The US needs to understand the challenges and risks to this vital relationship, which is growing in importance, and take steps to manage it. On its part, Australia must clearly identify its core common interests with the US and start exploring what more it needs to do to attain its stated policy preferences.
This book consists of chapters exploring US and Australian perspectives of the Indo-Pacific, the evolution of Australia-US strategic and defence cooperation, and the future of the relationship. Written by a joint US-Australia team, the volume is aimed at academics, analysts, students, and the security and business communities.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'A timely volume on the US-Australia alliance which provides fresh thinking on how the United States and Australia can navigate a more contested Indo-Pacific. This book will be of great value to scholars and practitioners alike.'
Ben Schreer, Professor of Strategic Studies, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
`The timing of this volume on the US-Australia alliance relationship is impeccable. Written by some well-known scholars and practitioners, it offers an invaluable set of chapters that enhances our understanding of the new challenges and risks confronting the alliance and puts forth constructive ideas for Canberra and Washington to deal with them without compromising their vital interests and core values. It should be required reading not just for those interested in the fast-changing triangular Australia-America-China relationship but all those interested in the future of the Indo-Pacific regional order.'
Mohan Malik, Professor, National Defense College of the UAE and Visiting Fellow, NESA Center for Strategic Studies, USA.
