Description:
Dive into 'The Echidna Strategy,' a groundbreaking book that challenges conventional wisdom surrounding Australia's security in the evolving global landscape. In a world where traditional alliances are shifting, understanding how Australia can confidently defend itself without relying on American support has never been more crucial. This thought-provoking analysis reveals that Australia's security is not threatened by China's military ascent as often presumed. By embracing this reality, a fresh, more strategic approach to national defense emerges—one that does not necessarily entail increased costs.
The book critically examines the need for a decisive Australian foreign policy aimed at achieving leadership in the Pacific, fostering robust ties with Indonesia, and creating a balanced regional order that accommodates all significant powers. It’s essential reading for anyone concerned with national security in a world of uncertainty where assumptions about the United States' supremacy may no longer hold.
'An essential read for anyone interested in our nation's security in an uncertain world where the enduring supremacy of the United States cannot be assumed or assured.' --Malcolm Turnbull
'Bold in its conclusions and forensic in its logic, it defies the echo chamber of current strategic policy.' --Peter Varghese

Description:
In the wake of a shift in the global power balance, how can Australia best protect itself?
The Echidna Strategy overturns the conventional wisdom about Australia's security. Australia will need to defend itself without American help, but this doesn't need to cost more.
The truth, which no Australian political leader is willing to confront, is that America's security is not threatened by China's rise. Once we accept that conclusion, the entire edifice on which our security has been built crumbles, and we need to start afresh.
Yet, despite the rapid growth of China's military, defending Australia need not be particularly difficult. Our leaders insist on making it expensive and hard. Even worse, in the name of the US alliance, they expose our country to more danger.
The Echidna Strategy sheds new light on the contest for leadership in Asia and the strategy Australia needs to thrive. This includes a radically different approach to defence. Above all, it means a bolder Australian foreign policy, with three goals- leadership in the Pacific; a much stronger relationship with Indonesia; and a regional order centred on a gathering of its great powers.
