‘A timely volume on the US-Australia alliance which provides fresh thinking on how the United States and Australia can navigate a more contested Indo-Pacific. This book will be of great value to scholars and practitioners alike.’ Ben Schreer, Professor of Strategic Studies, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. `The timing of this volume on the US-Australia alliance relationship is impeccable. Written by some well-known scholars and practitioners, it offers an invaluable set of chapters that enhances our understanding of the new challenges and risks confronting the alliance and puts forth constructive ideas for Canberra and Washington to deal with them without compromising their vital interests and core values. It should be required reading not just for those interested in the fast-changing triangular Australia-America-China relationship but all those interested in the future of the Indo-Pacific regional order.'Mohan Malik, Professor, National Defense College of the UAE and Visiting Fellow, NESA Center for Strategic Studies, USA.
