Australia has always been reliant on 'great and powerful friends'
for its sense of national security and for direction on its foreign
policy-first on the British Empire and now on the United States.
Australia has actively pursued a policy of strategic dependence,
believing that making a grand bargain with a powerful ally was the
best policy to ensure its security and prosperity. Dangerous Allies
examines Australia's history of strategic dependence and questions
the continuation of this position. It argues that international
circumstances, in the world and in the Western Pacific especially,
now make such a policy highly questionable. Since the fall of the
Soviet Union, the United States has also changed dramatically,
making it less relevant to Australia and a less appropriate ally on
which Australia should rely. Malcolm Fraser argues that Australia
should adopt a much greater degree of independence in foreign
policy, and that we should no longer merely follow other nations
into wars of no direct interest to Australia or Australia's
security. He argues for an end to strategic dependence and for the
timely establishment of a truly independent Australia.
