Download or read book Strangers Next Door written by Dave McRae and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are no two neighbouring countries any where in the world that are more different than Indonesia and Australia. They differ hugely in religion, language, culture, history, geography, race, economics, worldview and population (Indonesia, 270 million, Australia less than 10 per cent of that). In fact, Indonesia and Australia have almost nothing in common other than the accident of geographic proximity. This makes their relationship turbulent, volatile and often unpredictable. Strangers Next Door? brings together insiders and leading observers to critically assess the state of Australia-Indonesia relations and their future prospects, offering insights into why the relationship is so important for Australia, why it is so often in crisis, and what this means for the future. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the Indo-Pacific region, Southeast Asia, Australia and Indonesia, and each country's politics, economy and foreign policy. It contains chapters that will interest specialists but are written in a style accessible to a general audience. The book spans a diverse range of subjects, including political relations and diplomacy, security and defence, the economy and trade, Islam, education, development, the arts, legal cooperation, the media, women, and community ties. Contributors assess the current state of relations in their sphere of expertise, and outline the factors and policies that could shape bilateral ties - and Indonesia's future - over the coming decades. University of Melbourne scholars Tim Lindsey and Dave McRae, both prominent observers and commentators on Indonesia and its relations with Australia, edited the volume, providing a synthesising overview as well as their own thematic chapters."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Australian Foreign Policy in Asia written by Allan Patience and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a fresh approach to identifying states that lay claim to middle powers status in international politics. It focuses on the dependent nature of Australia's middle power imagining which is at the core of the country's foreign policy in the Asia Pacific. It shows how this flawed middle power imagining contributes to Australia's positioning as an "awkward partner" in its relations with major states in East and Southeast Asia. Allan Patience is a Principal Fellow in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He has held chairs in political science and Asian studies in Australia and Japan and visiting academic appointments in China, Taiwan, Burma, and Papua New Guinea.

This thoroughly revised edition keeps it fully abreast of a changing world. This book is indispensable for anyone who follows current affairs. Its contents range from a concise analysis of the practice and politics of making foreign policy—what it is that diplomats and foreign ministers do—to the exploration of Australia’s relationships, as a middle power, with all regions of the world. Among the many subjects covered is the new internationalist agenda, from human rights and global environmental issues to arms control. Australia’s Foreign Relations will be equally valuable for students of politics, history, international relations and economics—for, as the authors stress, foreign policy and Australia’s economic fortunes are now inextricably linked.

Download or read book Medical Liability in Asia and Australasia written by Vera Lúcia Raposo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together some of the most respected Asian and Australasian experts on medical liability to provide insightful perspectives on civil and criminal law from selected Australasian jurisdictions.

The aim is to provide an overview of the basic elements of medical liability in Asian and Australian jurisdictions, as well as the latest developments and general trends in jurisprudence. Given the broad range of jurisdictions covered, the book offers lawmakers, health administrators and practitioners, both in law and medicine, an alternative approach to the delivery of health care. Further, it is essential reading for all those (academics, lawyers, judges, researchers, practicing doctors and those involved in the growing area of legal medicine) working in medical liability, specially in the Australasian context.
Download or read book Governing Asian International Mobility in Australia written by Xianlin Song and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this path-breaking work, Song and McCarthy offer a theoretical framework that highlights how racialized governing practices and effects have been central to the constitution of new international education landscapes. Anyone who works in the area of international education will have to engage with the provocative and stimulating arguments of this book."--Kanishka Jayasuriya, Professor of Politics and International Studies, Murdoch University, Australia The book examines the governance of Asian student and academic mobility, which has transformed the higher education landscape. While campuses are experiencing an unprecedented level of diversity, knowledge creation remains explicitly Eurocentric and dominated by the Global North. The authors advocate for a new educational paradigm that takes into account the transcultural flow of knowledge on campus as a public good, capitalises on Asian students and academics' multilingual competencies, and offers them equal access to creating quality-orientated education. The book argues that international higher education must be grounded in both a plurality of knowledges and the ethics of cognitive justice, and that the governing policies should facilitate the higher education sector to build a platform of internationalising affect and effect on campus. Xianlin Song is Associate Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Western Australia, Australia. Her research focuses on Chinese women's literature and international higher education mobility. Greg McCarthy is Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia, Australia. Previously, he held the prestigious BHP Chair of Australian Studies at Peking University, China.--
