| Summary / Abstract (Note) | There is little optimism in the strategic outlooks prepared by the Australian Department of Defence in recent years, Terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction(WMD), fragile and failed states, climate change and the rise of Chinaas a major global power have all combined to create a dangerous and unpredictable world, according to the Australian strategists. Further, the economic and social changes of globalism have brought many advantages to Australian and its geostrategic region of interest. But this economic interconnecting and shrinking of global communications has also overcome Australia's greatest traditional defensive resource:its isolation. |
