Download or read book Defending Australia in the Asia Pacific Century written by Australian Government - Department of Defence - Defence Publishing Service and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new Defence White Paper explains how the Government plans to strengthen the foundations of Australia's defence. It sets out the Government's plans for Defence for the next few years, and how it will achieve those plans. Most importantly, it provides an indication of the level of resources that the Government is planning to invest in Defence over coming years and what the Government, on behalf of the Australian people, expects in return from Defence. Ultimately, armed forces exist to provide Governments with the option to use force. Maintaining a credible defence capability is a crucial contributor to our security, as it can serve to deter potential adversaries from using force against us or our allies, partners and neighbours.

Download or read book Australian Public Opinion Defence and Foreign Policy written by Danielle Chubb and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of Australian public opinion towards defence and foreign policy from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. For most of this period, the public showed little interest in defence and security policy and possessed limited knowledge about the strategic options available. The principal post-war exception to this pattern is, of course, the Vietnam War, when political divisions over Australia’s support for the U.S.-led action eventually resulted in the withdrawal of troops in 1972. The period since 2001 has seen a fundamental change both in the public’s views of defence and foreign affairs, and in how these issues are debated by political elites. This has come about as a result of major changes in the strategic environment such as a heightened public awareness of terrorism, party political divisions over Australia’s military commitment to the 2003-11 Iraq War and the increasing overlap of economic and trade considerations with defence and foreign policies, which has increased the public’s interest in these issues. Combining the expertise of one of Australia's foremost scholars of public opinion with that of an expert of international relations, particularly as pertains to Australia in Asia, this book will be a critical read for those wishing to understand Australia's alliance with the U.S., interactions with Asia and China, and the distinctive challenges posed to Australia by its geographic position.

Book excerpt: In the eyes of most people defence does not become a problem until the bombs begin to fall. Michael O'Connor argues persuasively that it is high time that governments and concerned individuals did something to counter the 'benign neglect' of defence policy which is the norm in Australia. National security, like any other product of government, must be marketed as well as managed. Australia as a community suffers badly from the refusal of governments and their advisers to take the citizenry into their confidence. Occupying the high ground in public debate, the Defence Department uses weapons of secrecy and assertions of special knowledge as well as more disreputable debating tactics to stifle criticism. In general, this overall political neglect of national security questions in the climate of 'no-threat' assertions has led to the creation of a Defence Force which lacks some of the most elementary logistic support and political control mechanisms. Politically, defence is regarded as a problem that will be dealt with when the need is urgent-when it will be too late and exceedingly costly in lives and money. No one who reads this book can fail to be frightened--not by the threat of nuclear war or holocaust--but by the total inability and inadequacy of our defence forces to meet such a nightmare now. Our national conservatism threatens our security more than it ever did in the days of total war.
