Allan Patience

Australian Foreign Policy in Asia (eBook, PDF)

Middle Power or Awkward Partner?

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

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.
