The fourth issue of Australian Foreign Affairs examines the challenge of defending Australia at a time of regional uncertainty and fast-changing military technology. It explores the nation’s main vulnerabilities and the capabilities needed to secure against them, including the consequences of a nuclear arms race in Asia.
- Michael Wesley examines where Australia’s next war will occur, and how we can defend ourselves.
- John Birmingham analyses Australia’s weapons capabilities and how they compare to those of our Asian allies.
- Patrick Walters probes into Australia’s expanding intelligence agencies.
- Stephan Frühling considers if Australia should go nuclear, in the event of a looming Asian arms race.
- Tess Newton Cain, Visiting Fellow at the Development Policy Centre in the Australian National University, on Matthew G. Allen’s Resource Extraction and Contentious States and mining in the Pacific region.
- Matthew Thompson, fellow at the Centre for the History of Violence at the University of Newcastle, on Jonathan Miller’s Duterte Harry and the deeply problematic Duterte regime.
