The recent publicity surrounding moves within Australia, led by the Labor prime minister Paul Keating, to end the constitutional links between Australia and Britain, has both drawn attention to and distorted views of the current state of, and future prospects for, the relationship between the former imperial power and its former colony. In this article Richard Higgott takes a more considered and broader look at this relationship, examining it in the context of Australia's international economic and political relations since the Second World War and in particular its increasingly important links with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Drawing an analogy between Australia's stance towards the region and Britain's stance towards the European Community, he points out both the limitations and the enduring significance of the ties between the two states
