Offering a comprehensive theoretical critique of the closed and introspective approaches which both define and determine contemporary Australian defence and security policy, this volume assesses basic assumptions of mainstream security thinking. The editors call on policy makers, academics and others working on defence and security issues to think more critically and theoretically; to begin to ask some of the difficult and searching questions that are being raised in other disciplines; and finally to recognise and accept the contested and problematic nature of many of the concepts that they advance as if they were self-evident. This work complements and advances the work of the Secure Australian Project and other critics of the Australian security mainstream.
