Edited by Carl Ungerer

This textbook examines changes to Australian foreign policy since 9/11 and the rise of global Islamic terrorism. It covers each of the main areas of Australian foreign policy - security, trade, development assistance, multilateral institutions, and bilateral relations. The first section deals with the strategic dimensions of foreign policy, the second with global dimensions, and the final section deals with regional or geographic dimensions. It is a critical examination of the transnational forces that are influencing the future conduct of Australian policy.
