- Summary:
-
This book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary issues and problems in Australian politics, including key political institutions, major policy areas and international affairs. While the focus is mainly on the past five years, the issues and problems of today are placed in their broader historical context. The fourteen contributors to the book include leading authorities on all aspects of Australian political institutions, public policy and international relations. The book has been written for a general audience but should be considered essential reading for all those interested in current developments in Australian politics.
