Writers @ Stanton: Hugh White

Learn about Australia's place in the new global landscape with Hugh White in this expanded edition of the bestselling Quarterly Essay.

Are we ready for our post-American future? Under Donald Trump, America's retreat from global leadership has been swift and erratic. China, Russia and India are on the move.

In an era of rising danger for all, and dramatic choices for Australia, Hugh White explores how the world is changing and Australia should respond. He explains why America has 'lost' Asia, and why complacency about the American alliance – including AUKUS – is no longer an option.
