The Problem With Australia’s Conservatism
Australia may find itself sleeping walking into an international environment that it doesn’t have the disposition to effectively negotiate.
The current existential crisis within the United States – and in particular the chaotic behavior of the Republican Party – should be deemed Australia’s primary foreign policy dilemma, and not only because democratic backsliding in the U.S. encourages anti-democratic actors elsewhere. As Emma Shortis has recently written,=what is Canberra’s plan should the U.S. cease to become a democracy?= What will be the nature of Australia’s alliance with the U.S. should it fundamentally alter itself? And more specifically what is the fate of the Pine Gap intelligence base in central Australia, or the U.S. troops that are stationed in Darwin?
