| Summary / Abstract (Note) | As China grows in international importance and influence, more and more countries worry about how it will behave, and are preoccupied with the hard question of how to tame it. As a middle power Australia has sought ways to influence the thinking and behaviour of Chinese policymakers. The Australian approach to taming China represents an academically puzzling and politically intriguing case, which, unfortunately, has not been studied in detail. The paper has argued that the concept of taming offers significant intellectual advantages in its reconsideration of Australia’s China policy and has called for Australian scholars and policymakers, to critically rethink unspoken and understudied Australia’s taming practices and policies. To this end, this paper has proposed an experience-based theory of taming as a key research agenda. |
