Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The threats to security in Southeast Asia have been serious and constant since the end of the Second World War. The book provides an absorbing account of the evolution of a key axis of regional stability - defence contacts between Japan and Australia, tracing the relationship from the early post-war period to the post-9/11 present. Though most works have focused on their economic nexus, Japan and Australia’s defences and security ties have assumed increasing importance since the mid-1990s. With problems such as North Korea’s nuclear program and the China-Taiwan standoff threatening regional stability, the two countries have sought to strengthen bilateral relations, and indications are that this relationship is likely to grow in the future. Japan, Australia and Asia-Pacific Security explores the evolution of their relationship in the broader context of Asia-Pacific security, addressing regional, sub-regional and transnational issues. This captivating book will be welcomed by those with an interest in Asian politics, international relations, and security studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Japan is one of Australias most important security partners. In the past, it was the trade and foreign policy aspects of the relationship that dominated. But over the last decade and a half the bilateral security relationship has steadily grown, and in the last few years it has accelerated to a new level. The signing of the Joint Declaration on Security Cooperation in March 2007 was a strategic landmark. Australia is the only country that Japan has such an agreement with apart from the United States. However, there is now a new Government in Australia and a new Prime Minister in Japan. We need to assess if the higher pace of security cooperation will be sustained or whether there will now be a tendency on each side to moderate the importance of the relationship. This paper addresses how the bilateral defence and security relationship has developed in recent years and where Japan now ranks in Australia's security priorities. The importance of the Declaration and the relevance of the Trilateral Strategic Dialogue with the United States are also addressed. The final section deals with some specific ideas to build on our current security cooperation in a more practical manner"--Publisher.

In 1945, Japan and Australia were foes; today they are partners in security, defence and military matters, each the other's most important strategic ally, after the United States. As the region faces threats from an increasingly assertive China, there is a growing prospect of conflict, particularly in Northeast Asia. McDermott discusses how Japan and Australia may cooperate in military action. Using previously classified government documents, and interviews with those involved in the decisions, as well as his own experiences, McDermott examines how political imperatives have shaped the security side of the A-JDSR. He offers new insights into the history and future of the relationship. An essential read for students and scholars of Asia-Pacific and Indo-Pacific security"--

Download or read book Future United States Japan Relations and Their Impact on Australia s National Security Policy written by Timothy R. Ford and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia's national security policy has undergone considerable refinement and review in recent years. This paper examines the current policy against a remote but dangerous possibility- a future military conflict between the United States and Japan that would erupt in the dynamically emerging Asia- Pacific region. An analysis of the existing state of the United States and Japan notes that both are at a crossroads. With the successful conclusion of the Cold War, they have the two most powerful economies, yet both have structural problems that will force them to adjust policies and seek new relationships. Some commentators deduce that the relationship between these two powerful nations will deteriorate, and in the extreme scenario result in military conflict. Australia has strong cultural links to the United States and a close security relationship as a staunch ally. on the other hand, Australia is also developing a more diversified and constructive partnership with Japan. Australia's current national security policy is a multi-dimensional one that includes military, diplomatic, economic, regional assistance and development elements, plus cultural links. Its defense policy is based on the self reliant defence of Australia within a network of alliances and agreements. Recent changes to its Defense force structure and support are designed to meet that policy. The paper considers how the region and Australia may react to a conflict between the United States and Japan. It is assessed that such a conflict would significantly hurt Australia, although it could probably survive by expanding its other relationships in the region and the world.

Book excerpt: "Japan has loomed large in post-war Australian foreign and economic policies. At the regional level, the relationship with Japan has become since the 1960s Australia[MARC]80][MARC]99]as longest, arguably most important and trouble-free bilateral relationship. The rapid improvement in bilateral relations by 1965, especially given the level of general hostility and suspicion towards Japan in Australia that had existed immediately after the Pacific War, represented a remarkable shift in policy thinking in Canberra. Yet surprisingly little has been written about the political dimension of the relationship and in particular, the level of dialogue between Australia and Japan from 1952 to 1965 on regional matters. This book examines the relationship between Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia in relation to early post-war initiatives in regional diplomacy."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book The Future of the United States Australia Alliance written by Scott D. McDonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the Asia-Pacific region undergoes dynamic power shifts and witnesses new and emerging security threats in the process, the United States has discovered the potential that 'minilateral' security cooperation offers in complementing the existing bilateral alliances and multilateral organizations in the region. In particular, the trilateral security relationship among the United States, Japan, and Australia has quickly emerged as one of the most robust minilateral relationships to facilitate regional stability and peace. US-Japan-Australia Security Cooperation: Prospects and Challenges focuses on the US-Japan-Australia trilateral security relationship and seeks to explore the evolving and dynamic trilateral security relations among Washington, Canberra, and Tokyo. This collaboration represents the diverse perspectives of American, Japanese, and Australian scholars, addressing the theoretical debates regarding minilateral cooperation, the evolution of the trilateral relationship, aspects of US-Japan-Australia security cooperation -- particularly, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, maritime capacity building, and defense equipment cooperation -- and the impact of the trilateral relationship for the Asia-Pacific regional security architecture"--Publisher's web site.
