This volume is the eleventh in a series initiated and sponsored by the Australian Institute of International Affairs, which has reviewed and analysed Australian foreign policy from 1950 onward. Australian foreign policy is an extremely important area of ongoing change which has direct impact on Australia's national interests in all dimensions. This series (released in a new edition every 5 years) captures the key characteristics, policy decisions and activities of the Australian government and its diplomatic staff during the preceeding 5 year period. The book provides a review of the most significant features of Australian foreign policy within its chosen time frame, the past five years. As with previous volumes in this series, in addition to commissioning chapters on Australia's major bilateral relationships and central questions in policy-making and execution, the editors have also included coverage of emerging or developing issues: in this volume, these chapters cover relations with Africa and with India, and innovations in the management of policy-making.

Lattimore is best known for his vilification by the McCarthyites, who alleged that he and other State Department Asian experts had delivered China to the Communists. This intellectual biography places that episode in the context of a lifetime effort to understand China and Mongolia, and to affect American perceptions of Asia. Lattimore's later (post-McCarthy) work concerned the Mongols and their revolution, as well as the frontier as a phenomenon in world political geography. Accessible to a general readership.

Asian Frontier Nationalism: Owen Lattimore and the American Policy Debate (Studies on East Asia)

This book explains the exceptional nature of the East Timor intervention of 1999, and deals with the background to the trusteeship role of the UN in building the new polity. All of these developments had an important impact on regional order, not least testing the ASEAN norm of 'non-interference'.Australian complicity in the Indonesian occupation of East Timor was a major factor in the persistence of Indonesian rule in the territory which was maintained for twenty-five years despite international censure and which required an unremitting campaign against the independence movement. This work reviews the reasons for that history of complicity, and explains the extraordinary change of policy that led ultimately to the occupation of the territory by the Australian-led INTERFET coalition.

East Timor, Australia and Regional Order: Intervention and its Aftermath in Southeast Asia (Politics in Asia)

After the dubious justice of the Treaty of Versailles and the turmoil of the interwar years, the League of Nations is mainly remembered as a body that failed to create mechanisms that might have forestalled the horrors of Nazism, fascism and World War II. It has understandably been overshadowed by the United Nations-that larger, more globally representative body that grew from the League and was founded on more unequivocally noble principles in the aftermath of a clear-cut victory of good over evil. But as the limitations of the United Nations become ever more apparent, we can look with more sympathy at the League and consider what we might learn from the endeavours of those driving this first attempt at global governmental coordination. As James Cotton relates in this illuminating account, a surprising number of Australians lent their talents and enthusiasm to this internationalist project, and Australian interests were prominently represented. Former Prime Minister Stanley Bruce was there, along with numerous other Australian men and women who made important contributions to international deliberations on questions of global organisation and interaction. This deeply researched and carefully realised story will recast understandings of both the League itself and the place within it of prominent interwar Australian internationalists.
