Vibrant, moving and diverse stories of shape-shifting between cultures. ‘To be Indian growing up in Australia is to tread the narrow line between here and there, to constantly code-switch and navigate between filling the needs and aspirations of your family, your community – and yourself.’ ‘Indian-Australian’ is not a one-size-fits-all descriptor. Given the depth and richness of diversity of the Indian subcontinent, it is fitting that its diaspora is similarly varied. Growing Up Indian in Australia reflects and celebrates this vibrant diversity. It features contributions from Australian-Indian writers, both established and emerging, who hail from a wide range of backgrounds, religi...
Could India, an emerging giant and growing geopolitical player, change the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific? “As Australia’s relationship with China has soured, probably irretrievably, India has emerged as the great new hope.” MICHAEL WESLEY The thirteenth issue of Australian Foreign Affairs examines the future of India, a rising giant whose unsteady growth and unpredictable political turns raise questions about its role and power in Asia. India Rising? explores the challenge for Australia as it seeks to improve its faltering ties with the world's largest democracy, a nation whose ascent - if achieved - could reshape the regional order. Michael Wesley interrogates the future for In...
India is set to become the next global superpower, with a population expected to exceed that of the United States and China combined by 2050. For Australia, India has emerged as a new geopolitical partner, offering hope for a more secure and balanced Indo-Pacific region. Yet Australia's relationship with India is weaker than it should be. Despite many similarities of geography and history, and a thriving Indian diaspora in Australia, both Indians and Australians have an outdated view of each other, trapped in decades-old stereotypes and misunderstandings. In Australia's Pivot to India, Andrew Charlton explains why now is the time to seize the opportunity for collaboration and cooperation, and outlines a vision for the Australia–India partnership that will enhance Australia's security and prosperity in the twenty-first century. Lively, thought-provoking and timely, Australia's Pivot to India should be a go-to source for anyone interested in Australia-India relations, India's role in reshaping the global order and the impact this will have on Australia's future.
“One of Australia’s defining characteristics is the belief that the nation is headed for an Asian future. Destiny allows little room for choice.” DAVID WALKER The fifth issue of Australian Foreign Affairs examines Australia’s struggle to define its place in Asia as it balances its historic ties to the West with its geography. Are We Asian Yet? explores Australia’s changing population, outlook and identity as it adjusts to the Asian Century. David Walker examines Australia’s fears, hopes and anxieties about its place and future in Asia. Linda Jaivin analyses art, politics and propaganda in the cultural dance between Australia and China. George Megalogenis discusses how Australia...
This is a book for an extraordinary time, about a pandemic for which there is no modern precedent. It is an edited collection of original essays on Asia's legal and policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, which, in a matter of months, swept around the globe, infecting millions. It transformed daily life in almost every corner of the planet: lockdowns of cities and entire countries, physical distancing and quarantines, travel restrictions and border controls, movement-tracking technology, mandatory closures of all but essential services, economic devastation and mass unemployment, and government assistance programs on record-breaking scales. Yet a pandemic on this scale, under contemporary...
We live in a highly connected world, and the events and happenings in one country directly and/or indirectly impact other countries. From bilateral relations to multilateral arrangements, from diplomacy to sanctions and from globalization to protectionism, the role of small and developing states, reforms of global governance structures, and processes, non-state actors and international policy development are the areas that deserve a concerted understanding. To advance this understanding, the IMPRI Center for International Relations and Strategic Studies (CIRSS) initiated a discussion series – The State of International Affairs – #DiplomacyDialogue. Through the reach of the digital, it se...

Although most European countries deny the existence of anti-Islam and anti-Muslim sentiment, the evidence on the ground demonstrates that racism and hate crimes against Muslims have become widespread and begun to normalize throughout Europe. Every passing day, racist, xenophobic and anti-Islam tendencies are further entrenched in European societies and institutions. The main concern about the most recent wave of anti-Islam is the fact that the mainstream political parties have begun to accept anti-Islam as a normal position and to use political discourses of ultranationalist and xenophobic political actors. Many Western governments have begun to introduce new laws normalizing anti-Islam outl...
With the US-China geostrategic competition heating up, it is an opportune time for South Korea, ASEAN and India to draw on their middle power status to bolster regional security and economic cooperation to protect their interests from any potential superpower fallout. This book investigates the diverse possibilities for collaboration within the India-ASEAN-ROK trilateral framework. It explores the various avenues of cooperation that this new trilateral initiative can benefit from, ranging from security, economic, institutional platforms and technology to sustainable development and climate change. The book provides regional perspectives on India, ASEAN and ROK to show the growing appetite in these countries for such trilateral initiatives and to forecast the challenges that may arise. Lucid and topical, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of political science, international relations, diplomacy and strategic studies, as well as Southeast Asian, East Asian and South Asian studies. It will also be of use to thinktanks and policymakers interested in Indo-Pacific, India-ASEAN and India-ROK issues.
