Looks not only at Australia's policy but also at the impact of closer involvement in the region particularly the effect of Asian immigration on Australia itself. Rather than present a simple chronlogy of events the book is arranged by themes with chapters on regional economics, strategic engagement, human rights, regional relations, relations with Indochina, East Timor, social and cultural engagement and immigration and multiculturalism. Appendices provide statistics on immigration, refugees, Australian aid, trade. There are also tables of Australian diplomatic appointments in Asia 1901-2001, and Asian diplomatic representation in Australia. Also details of APEC and ASEAN meetings.Extensively illustrated with photographs and there is a good index.
