By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2020Subject(s): Online resources: In: Australian Journal of International Affairs: Vol.74 Issue 5, October 2020, pp.557-577 (36)Summary: This article analyses the Australia-Philippines relationship from 1946 to the present. It argues that the trajectory of the relationship is shaped by strategic trends at the global level that impinge on the Asia-Pacific regional environment and engage the shared security interests of the two. The article demonstrates that while Manila has consistently maintained a positive disposition toward Australia since its independence, Canberra has reciprocated only on its own terms-when Australia's political and security interests have been sufficiently engaged.
