Changing the Western Alliance in the South Pacific.
Abstract
The Western alliance in the South Pacific has experienced three decades of success based on a cooperative spirit established through its keystone, the ANZUS Treaty. Over the last few years some events have occurred in the region which are now challenging this spirit. The author examines the alliance, including its history, objectives and the issues confronting it. He also analyses current policies of ANZUS nations and their perceptions of the Treaty. He concludes that the traditional ANZUS Treaty can no longer meet the security objectives of its members, and requires major revision. A blueprint for change is suggested.
