The threats to security in Southeast Asia have been serious and
constant since the end of the Second World War. The book provides
an absorbing account of the evolution of a key axis of regional
stability - defence contacts between Japan and Australia, tracing
the relationship from the early post-war period to the post-9/11
present. Though most works have focused on their economic nexus,
Japan and Australia's defences and security ties have assumed
increasing importance since the mid-1990s. With problems such as
North Korea's nuclear program and the China-Taiwan standoff
threatening regional stability, the two countries have sought to
strengthen bilateral relations, and indications are that this
relationship is likely to grow in the future. Japan, Australia and
Asia-Pacific Security explores the evolution of their relationship
in the broader context of Asia-Pacific security, addressing
regional, sub-regional and transnational issues. This captivating
book will be welcomed by those with an interest in Asian politics,
international relations, and security studies.
