Drawing on contributors from academic and policy communities, this volume explores the major aspects of Australia-China relations. The frequently overlooked connection between Australia and Taiwan is also considered to allow readers to reach a full appreciation of the restraints engendered by the relationship with China as well as its many benefits. Moving beyond the traditional state-centric analysis, the work incorporates new material on sub-state relations as well as examining the impact of global economic and social forces on the Australia-China friendship. In addition to providing a contemporary understanding of the bilateral ties, this work also provides a benchmark against which Australia''s other relations with the countries of East Asia can be measured.
Industry Reviews
'This is an important volume about an important bilateral relationship in the Asia Pacific. It offers an Australian perspective on the various dimensions of a mature and robust relationship, including Australia's unofficial ties with Taiwan, which contributes significantly to the peace and prosperity of the region. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Australian foreign policy.' Edmund Fung, Professor of Asian Studies, University of Western Sydney 'This is a useful book for anybody interested in the background and recent history of Australia-China relations.' The China Journal 'The book is a valuable contribution to study of relations between countries with unequal power.' USI Journal 'The various authors have a wide breadth of experience combining the academic, diplomatic, governmental and business perspectives. Because of breadth of experience, the text goes beyond a state-centric perception of relations by including description of sub-state relations as well...worth a read to gain a clear summary at a number of levels, of the first 30 years of constructive relations between the two countries.'
