Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the history behind Australia's relations with the Muslim world, and the Middle East in particular, which led Australia to be described as a frontline of the so-called 'War on Terror'? Australia's encounters with the Middle East have historically been defined through the British Empire, the Commonwealth and, more recently, through its close strategic ties with the US. This book traces the nature of the Australia-Middle East relationship, from an insular 'White Australia' ideology through to the ongoing global impact of September 11 and the decision to send troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. Comprehensive analysis of these complex ties provides an essential basis for understanding past encounters, evaluating present policies and developing a framework for future interactions. Australia and the Middle East draws together the various dimensions and themes of this relationship – from trade and migration, to increasing strategic interest and military involvement in the region.

Book excerpt: The physical remoteness of the Australian continent is no longer a barrier to the development of important strategic and trade links with friendly states in the Middle East. Australia’s increasingly prominent role in world peacekeeping and humanitarian operations, many of which have involved the Middle East, has also added a new dynamism to the development of areas of cooperation that reflect the changing relationship between Canberra and Arab governments as issues of energy supply, national security and growing opportunities for trade and tourism gain momentum. In order to provide an in-depth overview of the history of this relationship, as well as an exploration of current political developments and the economic opportunities to be gained from Australia–Middle East relations, the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) held a Symposium under the title “Australia and the Arab World,” on December 17–18, 2008 in Abu Dhabi, hosting a group of distinguished experts from various academic, political and business backgrounds. This book comprises a valuable collection of the papers presented at the Symposium. It identifies how relations between Australia and the Arab world have developed; where mutual interests meet and diverge; the growing industry in cultural exchange through education and tourism; the integration of Muslims into Australian society and their contribution to its multiculturalism; the new security apparatus developing both strategically and militarily between Australia, New Zealand and various Arab states; and Australia’s historical involvement and approach to the contentious issue of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Other States, grade: 1,4, Macquarie University, language: English, abstract: By stating that "that the protection of our continent starts well beyond our shores" the protection of our continent and citizens starts well beyond our shores has formed an essentially unbroken line in Australian strategic thinking" (Howard, 2006, p. 5), the former Australian Prime minister acknowledged the importance of distant events for Australia's interests in an era of globalization. Globalization does not only provide positive effects, in fact, global terrorism, a growing shortage of energy resources, and a higher economic vulnerability to foreign developments are also effects of globalization. The Middle East will remain a key region in the next decades for either of the mentioned negative effects and therefore, Australia's strategic interests in the Middle East will increase. Given a broader Australian security agenda, determined by "a global power balance, favourable to our interests and to those of our allies; secure sea and air lanes as sinews of peace and prosperity; and a framework of international norms conducive to individual freedom, economic development and liberal democracy" (Howard, 2006, p. 5), events in the Middle East do matter. Therefore, this paper will analyze key strategic challenges Australia will face in the Middle East region. Since these threats are possible threats for Australia's security interests, this paper will also outline possible options of actions Canberra might have in order to protect its interests in the Middle East and on its broader security agenda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘honest, and provides a framework against which to judge foreign policy actions and achievements’ Cameron Forbes, Age ‘It will stand for the thoughtful Asian as the major document of Australia’s credentials for regional partnership . . . a dossier of almost everything you need to know about contemporary Australian foreign policy.’ Professor Stephen Fitzgerald, Director, Asia–Australia Institute Australia’s Foreign Relations is the most rigorous, lively and comprehensive ‘insider’ account ever written about the shape and direction of Australian foreign policy. 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.
