Internationalist or Realist? Australia’s Foreign Policy under the Whitlam Labor Government (1972–75)
The foreign policies of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) government of Gough Whitlam are typically located within the 'internationalist' tradition of Australia's foreign policy. By contrast, this article argues that Whitlam's foreign policy record is best accounted for by a realist interpretation that emphasises relative power, sensitivity to context, and pragmatism. This is demonstrated by Whitlam's reorientation of Australia's relationships awa…
A retrospective on the Australia-Philippines political and security relationship
After the Philippines gained independence in 1946, Canberra and Manila have maintained a close political and security relationship except for a period from the early-1970s to the mid-1990s. Despite this robust history of cooperation, the Australia-Philippines relationship is often overlooked in the study of Australia’s engagement with Asia. This article analyses the Australia-Philippines relationship from 1946 to the present. It argues that the t…
From Commonwealth Responsibility to the National Interest
This article re-examines the drivers of post-war Australian foreign policy in South-East Asia. The central argument is that the motive of Commonwealth responsibility has not been given sufficient explanatory weight in interpreting Australia's post-war engagement with South-East Asia under both Australian Labor Party and Liberal-Country Party (Coalition) governments. The responsibility expressed by Australian policy-makers for the decolonisation o…
From Cold War Solidarity to Transactional Engagement
This article challenges the position that genuine and substantive Australian engagement with Asia began only in the 1980s during the final phase of the Cold War. In reality, the deepest points of Australia's political and security engagement occurred much earlier, from 1950 to 1971, with the most intense phase from 1966 to 1968. The Cold War instilled a sense of solidarity with the non-Communist states of East Asia, with which Australia fostered …

Neoliberalism, massification and teaching transformative politics and international relations
Massification’ describes the significant increase in the proportion of the global population seeking tertiary qualifications. It is a defining feature of the global international education sphere and is often seen as linked to negative outcomes such as declining academic standards and increasing managerialism in universities. Massification, however, is not wholly or even mostly a negative for the generations of new students who now have access to…
Engaging students and maintaining quality in the era of massification
This article examines the nature of first-year international relations (IR) teaching in Australia. Cost pressures in the university sector have been met by economies of scale with foundational classes becoming very large, often with hundreds of students. The article critically reflects on current strategies for teaching these courses to meet the challenge of providing an engaging and high quality learning environment in large classes with widely …
Reputation and responsibility in Australia's 2003 intervention in the Solomon Islands
This article reinterprets Australia's motives for its 2003 intervention in the Solomon Islands. The central argument is that considerations of Australia's international reputation have not been afforded sufficient importance in explaining the Howard government's decision to intervene. A primary concern for the Howard government was to bolster Australia's reputation in the ‘War on Terror’ vis-à-vis the USA and the international community more broa…
Prestige, Prudence and Public Opinion in the 1882 British Occupation of Egypt
This article challenges both the “gentlemanly capitalist” thesis and “official mind” interpretation of the 1882 British occupation of Egypt. The former fails to adequately consider the political character of the Anglo‐French financial Control overturned by the Urabist revolt in February 1882. The latter overstates the significance of the Suez Canal as both trigger and justification for military intervention. The article argues that the primary mo…
Bringing international politics back in’
This article argues that the failed-state phenomenon is not unique to the post-cold war era, nor is it uniquely threatening in comparison with other historical periods. The article contends that state failure is not primarily a failure of formal institutions of governance but a subjective condition defined by the great powers. ‘Bringing international politics back in’ is essential to a clear understanding of the issue for an emerging multipolar i…
