“…Each current relates particularly to certain sectors of Australian foreign policy, and establishes the predominant policy direction. An easy coexistence results, imbuing Australian foreign policy with a consistency that other analysts have taken as evidence of bipartisanship (Albinski 1974;Matthews and Ravenhill 1988;Millar 1985). Furthermore, the currents repeatedly provide support and leverage to each other between and across foreign policy sectors.…”

This paper explores the content of the Australian foreign and defence policy agenda over the past 50 years, finding evidence of both continuity and change. Australian political leaders have generally committed to cooperation with international institutions, wealth creation through engagement with Asian economies in particular, and security through the American alliance. In this period, changes in foreign policy approach either concerned marginal issues or were driven significantly by exogenous factors: by changes in the international environment or by global events that propelled a reconsideration of Australian foreign and defence policy interests. However, periods of policy change and significant public attention in – particular around the Vietnam and Iraq wars – illustrate the continued relevance of political choices and agency. Both conflicts and debates around them ushered in changing foreign and defence policy considerations, and both raised fundamental questions about Australian security and independence in the context of the American alliance.
