The Australia-Japan Special Strategic Partnership: Agreements, Core Instruments, and Related Documents

What is a "Special Strategic Partnership?" In the case of Australia and Japan, it is a unique type of relationship founded upon core values and shared interests which underpin collaboration in multiple realms-not least of which being foreign policy and security. This second 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 Australia-Japan security relationship. For practitioners involved in Australia-Japan relations, it is a handy reference book. For those from other countries seeking to foster ties with Australia, Japan, or both, this book presents the blueprint for how Australia and Japan 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 increasingly important bilateral relationship.
