Between 2016 and 2020 Australia's foreign and security policies were significantly impacted by profound changes in geopolitics and geoeconomics, particularly as great power competition re-emerged between the United States and China. The AIIA's new volume, Australia in World Affairs 2016–2020: A Return to Great-Power Rivalry examines Australia's engagement on the international stage in light of these events. Meet editors and authors of the thirteenth volume in the Australia in World Affairs series, which builds on the history of Australia's foreign policy covered in volumes on Australia’s foreign policy from 1950. Organised thematically, chapters cover Australia's foreign policy response to climate change, Australia's strengthened ties to the Indo–Pacific region, and its security interests in Southeast Asia. Australia's increasing security dependence on the US in an age of great-power rivalry is evident throughout.
