Description: The events of September 11, and the government's decision to align closely with the United States in the 'war against terrorism', brought security to the forefront of Australian foreign policy from 2001 onwards. Trading on Alliance Security, the latest in the long-established Australia in World Affairs series, charts the Howard government's response to a particularly demanding external environment; in an era when foreign policy issues had a significant impact on domestic electoral politics.
