ISSN: 0020-577X
LOOKS AT THE CHANGES WHICH HAVE OCCURRED IN AUSTRALIAN FOREIGN POLICY SINCE THE LABOR PARTY CAME TO POWER THERE. MOST OBSERVERS HAVE STATED THAT FUNDAMENTAL TRANSITIONS HAVE OCCURRED IN POLICY FROM THE SUBSERVIENT PLAYED BY AUSTRALIA FIRST TO GREAT BRITAIN AND THEN TO THE UNITED STATES TO THAT OF INDEPENDENT POLICYMAKER. CONCLUDES THAT CHANGES ARE IN EMPHASIS RATHER THAN UPHEAVAL IN POLICY.
