Australia and Southeast Asia: 'Comprehensive Engagement' or Marriage of Convenience? / Peter King Summary This collection canvasses the current requirements of achieving and consolidating peace in the Asia Pacific region, from the special perspectives of two 'outsiders' in the region, Australia and Japan. It explores the strategic, political, economic and cultural dimensions of peace building, with special emphasis on ASEAN and APEC, and concludes that Japan's role as indispensable economic hub and fulcrum for the region, and Australia's role as active diplomatic innovator, can be fruitfully linked. Japan's enforced strategic passivity and Australia's anxious quest for regional 'enmeshment' are seen as big potential assets rather than problems in regional peace building Analysis ASEAN Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic integration Federal issue Foreign policy alignment Human rights International relations Japan National security Regional security Notes ... in association with the Research Institute for Asia and the Pacific (RIAP) and the Public Affairs Research Centre (PARC), both of the University of Sydney."
