The Asian Century is challenging many of the traditional assumptions at the heart of Australian defence policy and strategy. Defence scholars have risen to the challenge of these transformational times and have collectively produced a smorgasbord of alternatives for policy-makers. The problem is that these recommendations all point in very different directions. How should we evaluate these options? Adam Lockyer tackles this question and develops a novel conceptual framework for evaluating defence strategies. By doing so, this book breaks new theoretical ground and makes an important contribution to our understanding of strategy in general and defence strategy in particular. Lockyer then applies this analytical tool to the leading arguments in Australia's defence debate and finds that there is still substantial work to be done. Lockyer concludes by proposing a new Australian defence strategy for a contested Asia that would pass the test for a 'good' defence strategy. The result is essential reading for anyone interested in strategy or the future of Australian defence policy. 588 0 Online resource; title from EPUB title page (OverDrive, viewed July 6, 2017). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 National security|zAustralia|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008108220|xEvaluation.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00005674 650 7 National security.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1033711 650 7 Evaluation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/916975 650 7 Defenses.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1352692 650 7 International relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/977053 650 7 Military policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1021386 651 0 Australia|xDefenses|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008114307|xEvaluation.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005674 651 0 Australia|xForeign relations|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85009588|zAsia.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85008606-781 651 0 Asia|xForeign relations|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010013255|zAustralia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79021326-781 651 0 Australia|xMilitary policy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2008114306|xEvaluation.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005674 651 7 Australia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204543 651 7 Asia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1240495 653 Australian 655 4 Electronic books. 830 0 Defence studies. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2232383|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
