QE98 Hard New World: Hugh White Writers @ Stanton

In his latest Quarterly Essay, Hugh White lays out the hard choices that lay ahead of Australia in the face of the changing global order.

The old global order faces direct challenge in three crucial regions, including our own. We confront the world's deepest and most dangerous international crisis in generations.

He explores Australia's responses to these crises, as reflected in the policies of Albanese's Labor and Dutton's Coalition – including AUKUS. He lays out in stark terms the hard choices ahead and explains how we can make our way in a very different world.

Hugh White is the author of The China Choice and Quarterly Essay 39, Power Shift. He is professor of strategic studies at ANU and was the principal author of Australia’s Defence White Paper 2000.
