Summary

Revised, this book provides a comprehensive account of the shape and direction of Australian foreign policy. The contents range from a concise analysis of the practice and politics of making foreign policy - what it is that diplomats and foreign ministers do - to the exploration of Australia's relationships, as a middle power, with all regions of the world. Among the topics covered is the new internationalist agenda - from human rights and global environment issues to arms control. The text should be of interest to students of politics, history, international relations and economics, as well as to researchers and policy-makers.
