Abstract

This paper examines recent foreign policy and the changing orientation to 'Asia' and 'Asian engagement'. It is argued that despite the general constraints faced by the policy-making elites of smaller powers in an era of 'globalization', policy matters. In this regard, recent policy under the Howard government provides a stark contrast to the earlier, proactive, Asia-oriented policies of the Hawke-Keating era.
