Australia in World Affairs
The AIIA publishes the definitive series Australia in World Affairs on Australia’s foreign policy. This book series has been published since 1950 and is currently edited by Professor Mark Beeson and Dr Shahar Hameiri.
Navigating the New International Disorder
Navigating the New International Disorder: Australia in World Affairs 2011-2015 is the latest edition in the AIIA’s Australia in World Affairs series.
The 12th volume charts Australian foreign policy-makers’ efforts to navigate an increasingly unpredictable international environment. A shifting environment in which established and long-held Australian conceptions of international politics appear to be challenged due to the rise of China and the intensification of a host of non-traditional security concerns, such as Islamic State, climate change and, for some, irregular migration.
It describes the years between 2011 and 2015, a period of considerable domestic political instability in which Australia had four prime ministers, two removed by their own parties, and three foreign ministers, as characterised by economic and security volatility, globally and regionally – ‘the old order is dying, the new struggling to be born’.
The thematic chapters cover and analyse major developments in important areas of foreign policy and are written by some of the foremost experts working in Australia today. It is a valuable resource for specialists, students and interested readers alike, seeking to understand the forces shaping Australian foreign policy in our time.
