Managing the Unbreakable Alliance: Agreements, Core Instruments, and Related Documents

The Alliance between the United States and Australia is among the respective countries' most consequential security partnerships. Born in combat during the First World War, the Alliance has grown and evolved significantly over the intervening century. With early agreements forming a loosely coordinated relationship, the bilateral partnership of the 21st Century includes rotationally-deployed U.S. forces in Australia, intelligence sharing, and cooperation on high-technology weapon systems. This third entry in the Yokosuka Council on Asia-Pacific Studies' and U.S. Studies Centre's alliance reference series provides an annotated collection of the key bilateral treaties, agreements, and policy documents that provide the structure for the U.S.-Australia Alliance. For practitioners involved in U.S.-Australia relations, it is a handy reference book. For those from other countries seeking to foster ties with Australia, the United States, or both, this book presents the blueprint for how Australia and the United States built their relationship so their approach may be replicated elsewhere. For scholars and analysts, it is a one-stop resource for documents and statements related to this ever-important bilateral relationship.
