Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the tempo of the arms race increases and superpower confrontation in the Northern Hemisphere brings growing fear of nuclear war, we in this country have reason to look carefully at our own place in the strategic jigsaw puzzle. Where does our basic security lie? Has the concept of collective security through the United Nations gone with the wind? What are the final implications for New Zealand in its alliance with a great nuclear power? Is it really a safe defence? What are the alternatives? For good reason, the defence treaty known as ANZUS, so often designated by our politicians as a "cornerstone", has been subjected to increasing scritiny ... the New Zealand Foundation for Peace Studies decided it was high time to update its 1977 publication "Alternatives to ANZUS" and presents herewith a revision of it. We do not believe it to be the last word on the matter but we hope it will stimulate discussion and debate ..."--Foreword.

Book Synopsis How to Defend Australia by : Hugh White
Download or read book How to Defend Australia written by Hugh White and published by La Trobe University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and important book about Australia’s future Can Australia defend itself in the Asian century? How seriously ought we take the risk of war? Do we want to remain a middle power? What kind of strategy, and what Australian Defence Force, do we need? In this groundbreaking book, Hugh White considers these questions and more. With exceptional clarity and frankness, he makes the case for a reconceived defence of Australia. Along the way he offers intriguing insights into history, technology and the Australian way of war. Hugh White is the country’s most provocative, revelatory and yet realistic commentator on Australia’s strategic and defence orientation. In an age of power politics and armed rivalry in Asia, it is time for fresh thinking. In this controversial and persuasive contribution, White sets new terms for one of the most crucial conversations Australia needs to have. ‘This book, by one of Australia’s leading defence policy thinkers, will be a very important contribution to our national discussion in coming years. Hugh White tackles many challenging issues and opens up the new debate that we need to have as Australia plots its course through a changing international environment.’—Robert O’Neill, former Chichele Professor of the history of war, University of Oxford ‘Hugh White is among our most knowledgeable and practised strategists. While I am strongly supportive of the US alliance, How to Defend Australia is a serious work from a serious patriot that requires close reading. It deserves a wide audience.’—Kim Beazley

Book Synopsis Our Exceptional Friend by : Emma Shortis
Download or read book Our Exceptional Friend written by Emma Shortis and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-18 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Our Exceptional Friend, Emma Shortis draws on history, current affairs and questions of morality to mount a compelling and unique case as to why Australia's relationship with the United States needs a serious overhaul. Australians are told that we have two choices in this world: the United States, or China. Faced with that choice, Australian governments of all persuasions have always sided with America – even if that means siding with a President like Donald J. Trump. While the election of Joe Biden has led many of us to hope that we might be heading for a calmer, more compassionate world, and a reset of Australia and America’s ‘special relationship,’ going back to ‘normal’ is not only a bad idea – it's a dangerous and immoral one. Our Exceptional Friend challenges the old assumption that we have no option other than to submit to one global power at the expense of another, and asks Australians to really examine why it is that we welcome American dominance. In this, our 70th year of the Australia–US alliance, historian Emma Shortis argues it's time to take a fresh and unflinching look at our special relationship, and examine whose interests it really serves. We don’t have to make a binary choice between subservience to an increasingly broken democracy and abandoning the alliance. There are other options. How can we make it better for us, and make the world a better place for it?

Download or read book China Panic written by David Brophy and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, Chinese president Xi Jinping said there was an ‘ocean of goodwill’ between our country and his. Since then, that ocean has shown dramatic signs of freezing over. Australia is in the grip of a China panic. How did we get here, and what’s the way out? In this brilliant book, David Brophy takes apart Australia’s China debate – its strange alliances and diplomatic failures. Justified criticism of China has too often given way to paranoia and exaggeration. While the xenophobic right hovers in the wings, some of the loudest voices decrying Chinese subversion come, unexpectedly, from the left. They call for new security laws, increased scrutiny of Chinese Australians and, if necessary, military force – a prescription for a sharp rightward turn in Australian politics. In China Panic, Brophy offers a progressive alternative. Instead of punitive moves and chest-beating that will only make Australia more like China, we need solutions and strategies that strengthen Australian democracy. ‘The most stimulating book I've read on the most important question facing Australian foreign and strategic policy. Brophy is not just answering questions others have asked, he's asking new questions.’—Allan Gyngell, author of Fear of Abandonment ‘Anyone who wants to know how and why Australia’s China narrative has descended to such a dismal point needs to read China Panic.’—Wanning Sun, professor of media and communications, UTS ‘David Brophy dissects the clichés and prejudices . . . China Panic is essential reading.’’—Linda Jaivin, author of The Shortest History of China
Download or read book Fighting Hislam written by Susan Carland and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Muslim community that is portrayed to the West is a misogynist’s playground; within the Muslim community, feminism is often regarded with sneering hostility. Yet between those two views there is a group of Muslim women many do not believe exists: a diverse bunch who fight sexism from within, as committed to the fight as they are to their faith. Hemmed in by Islamophobia and sexism, they fight against sexism with their minds, words and bodies. Often, their biggest weapon is their religion. Here, Carland talks with Muslim women about how they are making a stand for their sex, while holding fast to their faith. At a time when the media trumpets scandalous revelations about life for women from Saudi Arabia to Indonesia, Muslim women are always spoken about and over, never with. In Fighting Hislam, that ends.
Book Synopsis A Nuclear Winter's Tale by : Lawrence Badash
Download or read book A Nuclear Winter's Tale written by Lawrence Badash and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-07-10 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise and fall of the concept of nuclear winter, played out in research activity, public relations, and Reagan-era politics. The nuclear winter phenomenon burst upon the public's consciousness in 1983. Added to the horror of a nuclear war's immediate effects was the fear that the smoke from fires ignited by the explosions would block the sun, creating an extended “winter” that might kill more people worldwide than the initial nuclear strikes. In A Nuclear Winter's Tale, Lawrence Badash maps the rise and fall of the science of nuclear winter, examining research activity, the popularization of the concept, and the Reagan-era politics that combined to influence policy and public opinion. Badash traces the several sciences (including studies of volcanic eruptions, ozone depletion, and dinosaur extinction) that merged to allow computer modeling of nuclear winter and its development as a scientific specialty. He places this in the political context of the Reagan years, discussing congressional interest, media attention, the administration's plans for a research program, and the Defense Department's claims that the arms buildup underway would prevent nuclear war, and thus nuclear winter. A Nuclear Winter's Tale tells an important story but also provides a useful illustration of the complex relationship between science and society. It examines the behavior of scientists in the public arena and in the scientific community, and raises questions about the problems faced by scientific Cassandras, the implications when scientists go public with worst-case scenarios, and the timing of government reaction to startling scientific findings.
Book Synopsis Independence and Foreign Policy by : Malcolm McKinnon
Download or read book Independence and Foreign Policy written by Malcolm McKinnon and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first interpretive study of New Zealand over the period 1935-1991. It is based on years of research but it is also an original and thought provoking work which consistently takes a broader view. Malcolm McKinnon looks critically at the idea of independence in New Zealand's foreign policy, exploring the way New Zealanders thought about independence as well as the kinds of independence most commonly pursued and their implications in practice. He considers economic as well as political international relations; and he does not limit himself to official sources -- New Zealand public opinion plays an important role. While the focus of the first part of the book is the Second World War, the later chapters give illuminating insights into some recent issues in New Zealand foreign policy, such as the Vietnam War, relations with South Africa and the Pacific, and the anti-nuclear movement." -- Back cover.

Book Synopsis Australia's Relations with China by : Justin Healey
Download or read book Australia's Relations with China written by Justin Healey and published by . This book was released on 2021-07 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australia-China bilateral relationship is very significant to Australia and is mostly based on substantial trade ties. Crucially, China accounts for around a third of Australia’s total export income, however diplomatic and economic relations are currently at a low point. Globally, China is asserting its emerging superpower status and it appears actions by the communist party leadership in Beijing are primarily responsible for the deterioration in the bilateral relationship – however both sides have made mistakes, and Australia is not without fault. China’s blunt use of repeated trade sanctions to penalise Australia for alleged slights risks the mutually beneficial trading relationship being undermined by damaging political interference. What are the various grievances and points of difference between these two countries? How can Australia serve its own national and strategic interests and maintain its foreign policy objectives, without needlessly antagonising China? Can we end the trade war and repair relations?
