The Brocktorff Mapmakers
Since the Malta Map Society’s inception in November 2009, it has published a series of impressive works: Miniature Maps of Malta (2009), German Malta Maps (2011) and this most recent addition, The
The challenges confronting US extended nuclear assurance in Asia
This article aims to explore the credibility of future US extended nuclear assurance in Asia. Extended nuclear assurance, all too frequently confused with extended nuclear deterrence, faces a daunting series of challenges: a US strategic mainstream fractured on the roles and purposes of nuclear weapons; an Asia where assurance demands are high during a period of strategic uncertainty; and a US theatre- and tactical-range nuclear arsenal much depl…
Three visions of the bomb
This article argues that, over the decades, Australians have held three different, coherent, long-lived ‘visions’ of nuclear weapons and strategy. Those visions—which we have labelled Menzian, Gortonian and disarmer—compete on four grounds: the role that nuclear weapons play in international order; the doctrine of deterrence; the importance of arms control; and the relevance of nuclear weapons to Australia's specific needs. We believe this ‘textu…
The Future of the U.S.–Australian Security Relationship
Australia is an increasingly important ally for the United States. It is willing to be part of challenging global missions, and its strong economy and growing self-confi dence suggest a more prominent role in both global and regional affairs. Moreover, its government has worked hard to strengthen the link between Canberra and Washington. Political and strategic affi nities between the two countries have been refl ected in--and complemented by--pr…
Nuclear weapons, international security and the NPT
In the aftermath of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference in May this year, Professor Michael Wesley (2005) and Associate Professor Marianne Hanson (2005) have offered us two different views of the NPT, its effectiveness and its likely future. This debate is an important one, because at its heart lies a disagreement about the place of nuclear weapons in global security. For Wesley, the NPT is already ‘on life support’: it’s unfair,…
Australia's security and the threat of Islamic extremism in southeast Asia
Australian foreign and security policy confronts a series of difficult challenges in coping with the emergence of an Islamic extremist threat in Southeast Asia. Australian policy makers are being drawn into unfamiliar linkages with moderate Islam, and into closer cooperation with Indonesia, the most populous Islamic nation in the world, in an attempt to offset Islamic extremists. Further, they must achieve those objectives at a time when importan…
Issues in Australian Foreign Policy January to June 2001
The first half of 2001 saw traditional issues dominating the foreign policy agenda, with both Australia’s relationship with the United States and the policy of Asian engagement still holding centre stage. But those old issues generated fresh anxieties. In the United States, the incoming Bush administration displayed a genuine radicalism in its approach to foreign policy, and that raised concerns in many Western capitals — including Canberra — abo…
Ballistic Missile Defence
The University of Queensland's School of Political Science and International Studies organised a round table in Canberra on 27 June 2001 that brought together a select group of government policy-makers and academic specialists to discuss the issue of ballistic missile defence (BMD). The round table provided useful insights into Australian thinking on the issue. This report seeks to summarise the essence of those discussions in order to contribute…
A Pillar of Salt
Focuses on the need for nuclear disarmament. International treaties and agreements for a nuclear-free world; Limitations of conventional arms deterrence; Importance of building stability on adversarial relations
