Australia has a unique view of its place in the world. Surrounded by ocean, a part of the South Pacific but with undeniable links to the legacy of colonialism, our past and how we conduct ourselves with our neighbours are a critical part of our identity.

In this event La Trobe University authors Bec Strating and Michael O’Keefe will discuss Australia’s identity, its strategic defence, and how its cultural and historical position influences its approach to foreign policy with host Nick Bisley.

Recorded on 20th August, 2024.
