N2  - This paper discusses the specific choices and decisions that government faces in producing a new defence white paper for Australia in 2009.  Focusing on the second challenge, which is to respond the possibility that notwithstanding diplomatic efforts, the new Asian order turns out to be more strategically risky than the old one.
