How does Australia's unique geographical, cultural and historical position influence its approach to foreign policy? What key challenges does Australia face on the world stage, and how can it overcome them? Reflecting the messy reality of foreign policy decision-making, this book helps you to understand the changes and continuities in Australia's approach. For example, does the US withdrawal from Vietnam in 1973 and collapse of South Vietnam continue to cast a shadow over Australian foreign policy, or is it relevant only in understanding the dynamics of the cold war? Using an Australian Strategic Culture framework, O'Keefe sheds light on the characteristics that make Australia behave in a way different to any other country. Equipping you with analytic skills to understand the main debates, this book is essential reading if you are a student of Australian foreign policy, as well as of broader Australian domestic and international politics.

Edited by Donna Baines, University of British Columbia, Canada, Bindi Bennett, University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, Susan Goodwin, University of Sydney, Australia & Margot Rawsthorne, University of Sydney, Australia

By drawing on the insights and theories of people who have been positioned as ‘different’, the authors use practice vignettes and original data to provide ways to join theory and practice, with a primary focus on thinking about how to change patterns of social difference.

Seeing the Child in Child Protection Social Work

Sue Kennedy, University of Northampton, UK

In this textbook, the author repositions traditional social work thinking, and ultimately practice, by placing the child's lived experience at the centre of case study examples. Using the words of the child, the book reveals how each child was affected by adult narratives and the organisational structures and systems that effectively support and bind them. This is a passionate challenge to students and social workers to see the child in the field of child protection.
