Description
What is Australia's place in the new global landscape?
Are we ready for our post-American future? In an era of rising danger for all, and dramatic choices for Australia, Hugh White explores how the world is changing and how Australia should respond.
Under Donald Trump, America's retreat from global leadership has been swift and erratic. China, Russia, and India are on the move. White explains the big strategic trends driving the war in Ukraine and why America has "lost" Asia. He discusses Albanese Labor's record and its post-election choices, emphasising why complacency about the American allianceβincluding AUKUSβis no longer an option. This essential essay urges us to make our way in a hard new world with realism and confidence.
The Canberra establishment is shocked by any suggestion that we should walk away from the ANZUS commitments. They think we can and must depend on America more than ever in today's hard new world. But that misses the vital point. It is America that is walking away from the commitments it made in very different circumstances seventy-five years ago. That was plain enough under Joe Biden. It is crystal clear today under Trump. βHugh White, Hard New World
