It derribes the basic US and Soviet strategic nuclear policies and doctrines; assesses the current state of the strategic balance and provides some assessment of the likely state of the balance in the mid-190s, as proiected according to current trends and as it might look under some START regime; and provides a critique of Australia's involvement in the global balance.

This monograph argues that both these assumptions are seriously flawed. In the more complex and interdependent world of the post-Cold War era, Australia must take a more holistic approach to security which recognises the linkages between the political, economic and strategic dimensions of national security, and the increasing salience of economic factors. The monograph seeks to illustrate these linkages by identifying Australia's national security interests in the dynamic Northeast Asian states of Japan, China and the Republic of Korea (ROK), and analysing the implications for Australia of developments in, and between, these states. One of the principal conclusions reached is that the Northeast Asian sub-region is already critical to Australia's security, whether broadly or narrowly defined. Individually, and conjointly, Japan, China and the ROK have as much claim to inclusion in Australia's primary area of security interest as the more geographically proximate countries of Southeast. Asia and the South Pacific.Item Open Access Index to parliamentary questions on defence(Canberra, ACT: Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, The Australian National University, 1989) Brown, GaryThe right of Parliamentarians to ask Questions of Ministers is central to the Westminster system and a key element in the accountability of the Executive Government to Parliament. In the defence and national security field, where much information tends to be classified, the answers provided by successive Governments to Parliamentary Questions with or without notice form a major, but often under-utilised, information resource. To make this information more readily accessible, Gary Brown has prepared an index of Answers to Questions on defence and national security for the period February 1981 to December 1988. Answers are indexed under a number of headings for ease of access. An explanation of the indexing system is included. The answers are also summarised and the location of the full text in Hansard given.Item Open Access The post-Soviet world: geopolitics and crises(Canberra, ACT: Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, The Australian National University, 1992) Bell, CoralItem Open Access The heartland of Australia's defence policies(Canberra, ACT: Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, The Australian National University, 2005-04) Brabin-Smith, RichardThis paper looks at the conceptual framework that Australian governments have used over the past thirty years or so to give direction on defence policy and priorities. The paper examines four separate but strongly interrelated notions: self-reliance, levels of conflict and warning time; limitations to Australia's military resources and influence; and regional as opposed to distant operations. It observes that the treatment of these four themes show a high level of consistency, in spite of the several changes of government in Canberra over the period, and the extensive changes in the external security environment. The paper speculates on the continuing relevance of this conceptual framework. It concludes that, while change should not be ruled out, any more-radical change that might be contemplated would need to meet the challenge of at least matching the current conceptual framework for overall cogency and coherence.Item Open Access Australia's security relationship with Japan: How much further can it go?(Canberra, ACT: Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, The Australian National University, 2008-04) Dibb, PaulItem Open Access Australian foreign policy futures: Making middle-power leadership work?(Canberra, ACT: Department of International Relations, The Australian National University, 2008-04) Elliott, Lorraine; Fry, Greg; Tow, William T.; Ravenhill, John; Elliott, LorraineItem Open Access Conceptualising the three-tier approach to analyse the security arrangements in the Asia-Pacific(Canberra, ACT: Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, The Australian National University, 2009-12) Sahashi, RyoItem Open Access A basis for victory: the Allied Geographical Section 1942-1946(Canberra, ACT: Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, The Australian National University, 2005) Bowd, Reuben R. E.In the annals of popular militar;z history, pride of place goes to the exploits of major combat units and formations, decisive battles and covert special operations forces. What is often overlooked in the recounting of events is the tireless contribution of a cast of thousands who are overshadowed, often unjustlv, bv the exploits of the combat elernents that prosecute the war. Success in battle is more often than not atlributed to factors such as good generalship, superior combat forces and the lethality of the rveaponry brought to bear against an enemy. selclom is much heard of the work of specialist planning staffs, members of smaller unique units, headquartered rnany miles, perhaps thousands of miles, rearward of the front line working painstakingly during the n'eeks and months leading up to that cataclysmic event when combat forces take to the field. It is the accuracv of their work that inevitably distinguishes victorv from defeat. This book examines a unique, yet largely forgotten, cornerstone intelligence organisation that played an important role in ensuring allied victorv in the war against Japan during the Second l4'orld War. This interservice and inter-allied unit, the Allied Geographical Section (AGS), was established b,v General Douglas MacArthur's Intelligence Chief, Colonel (later Major General) charles willoughbv, to address the paucity of even the most basic geographic, anthropologic and hydrographic intelligence available in the Southu'est Pacific Area (SWPA) of operations. Its task r,r'as so immense and its importance so great that not to record its achievements would be a travesW.Item Open Access Foundations for Modern Approaches to the China Security Question(Canberra, ACT: Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, The Australian National University, 2007-07) Lee, JohnWhat are the ideational, strategic, and political foundations of current Australian policy towards China? Although the strategic and security implication of a rising China in the region is frequently seen as a modern issue, the challenge of how to deal with a 'China growing strong' has preoccupied Australia since the 1950s; while modern approaches date from the 1960s. This paper traces the evolution of Australian security policy, attitudes, strategies, and assumptions behind both Liberal and Labor responses to the 'China security question' as well as the politics driving theme from Prime Minister Robert Menzies through to current Prime Minister John Howard. How have attitudes and responses to the 'China security question' evolved and changed, why did they do so, and how is this relevant to understanding current and future Australian responses to meeting the challenge of China's continued rise today? This paper explores these questions in chronological order, which coincides with the thematic development of the 'China security question' beginning with the Liberal Governments up to 1972, then to the Whitlam Government and the period leading to the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, and finally from the post-Tiananmen period to the present one culminating in Prime Minister John Howard's attempt at 'synthesis' of both Liberal and Labor approaches to the question.Item Open Access Cross cultural communication problems in Aboriginal Australia(Canberra : North Australia Research Unit, Australian National University, 1997, 1997) Walsh, Michael, 1948-Item Open Access Willowra(Casuarina, N.T. : Published jointly by the North Australia Research Unit, Australian National University, and the Nugget Coombs Forum for Indigenous Studies, 1993, 1993) Coombs, H.
