How would we know a good defence strategy if we saw one? The Asian
Century is challenging many of the traditional assumptions at the
heart of Australian defence policy and strategy. Defence scholars
have risen to the challenge of these transformational times and
have collectively produced a smorgasbord of alternatives for
policy-makers. The problem is that these recommendations all point
in very different directions. How should we evaluate these options?
Adam Lockyer tackles this question and develops a novel conceptual
framework for evaluating defence strategies. By doing so, this book
breaks new theoretical ground and makes an important contribution
to our understanding of strategy in general and defence strategy in
particular. Lockyer then applies this analytical tool to the
leading arguments in Australia's defence debate and finds that
there is still substantial work to be done. Lockyer concludes by
proposing a new Australian defence strategy for a contested Asia
that would pass the test for a 'good' defence strategy. The result
is essential reading for anyone interested in strategy or the
future of Australian defence policy.
