At a pivotal moment in the twentieth century, Australia's Defence and Foreign Policy presents a rigorous and authoritative examination of how a young yet strategically significant nation navigated the treacherous currents of global geopolitics. Published as the proceedings of the 20th Summer School of the Australian Institute of Political Science, the volume assembles the foremost political thinkers, academics, and policymakers of the era to dissect Australia's military posture and its place within the broader international order — from its alliances with great powers to its relationships with neighbouring nations across the Asia-Pacific. The collection argues with remarkable foresight that Australia's security cannot be disentangled from its diplomatic identity, chronicling the tensions between self-reliance and dependence on allied powers that would come to define the nation's strategic debate for decades. Published by the venerable Angus and Robertson, the work carries the weight of serious scholarly discourse, yet remains accessible to any reader with a keen interest in Australian political history. Each contribution illuminates a distinct facet of policy, leaving the reader to wonder: how many of these debates, first aired in those summer school halls, remain unresolved today?
