#384 The Tyranny Of Difference: Perceptions Of Australian Defence Policy In Southeast Asia (2003) By David Bolton
Working Paper No. 384
This paper will identify those aspects of Defence 2000: Our Future Defence Force (D2000) that most detract from Australia’s efforts to build a cooperative security relationship with Southeast Asia, and examine why this is the case. This will be achieved by, firstly, identifying some common themes in security thinking in Southeast Asia. This paper will then examine three areas of Australian policy and practice, evidenced in D2000 and broader contexts, that provoke concern in Southeast Asia: Australia’s association with Western values, its close alliance with the United States, and its increasingly pro-active military strategy
