The aim of this book is to explore the implications stemming from
the recent upgrading of Australia-Japan-US security interactions
and the implications for Asia-Pacific regional security that these
represent. While a fully functioning trilateral security alliance
binding Australia, Japan and the United States is unlikely to
materialise or supplant existing bilateral arrangements, the
convergence of the strategic interests of these three states makes
it imperative that the full-range of such interests and the policy
ramifications flowing from them warrants extensive investigation.
The need to do so is particularly compelling given that the
'Trilateral Security Dialogue' is one of several contending recent
approaches to reshaping Asia-Pacific regional security
architectures and mechanisms for confronting new strategic
challenges in a post-Cold War and post-9/11 environment.
Key issues to be considered in this volume include the
theoretical and empirical context of 'trilateralism'; the evolving
history of the Australia-Japan-United States trilateral security
relationship; its connection to and impact on the U.S. bilateral
alliance network in Asia; how domestic politics in each country
relates to regional security politics; Sino-Australian and
Sino-Japanese bilateral security ties; arms control, maritime
security and the 'economic security nexus'.
This book will be of much interest to all students of
Asia-Pacific Security, US foreign policy, Asian politics and
International Relations in general
