Australia in the Region: Dialogue, Transparency and Trust

Abstract

A decade or two ago, readers may have wondered why the Australian High Commissioner to Malaysia would write an introduction to an edition of the International Journal of China Studies. But our region has changed rapidly since then and Australia’s place in and vision for the region has changed along with it.
Today, Australia recognises that having a deep understanding of our region matters. And more than ever, it matters how we work with regional partners, including China, to shape a peaceful, prosperous and secure region.
