Amazon.com description: Product Description: "Australia's Foreign Relations" is a rigorous, lively and comprehensive "insider" account of how Australian foreign policy works. It runs the full gamut of issues fundamental to Australia's place in, and relationships with, the world. It is aimed at researchers, policy makers and students of international relations, international economics, politics and history. Foreign Minister Gareth Evans and Bruce Grant are uniquely placed to present this authorative view. They provide a critique of the new internationalist agenda, from human rights and global environmental issues to arms control, and explain just what foreign ministers and diplomats actually "do". "Senator Gareth Evans has been Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade since September 1988. Bruce Grant is the author of a number of major books about foreign relations, particularly those with Asia.".
