‘Euan Graham’s Adelphi book is an essential guide to the remarkable transformation of Australia’s policy framework for managing its relationship with China, and what others can learn from this experience. Graham sets the bilateral relationship in its political, economic and social contexts and thoughtfully tracks the sometimes messy evolution of a new Australian approach to China that emphasises sovereignty, national economic resilience, deterrence and the search for a favourable regional balance of power.’ Richard Maude, Executive Director, Policy, and Senior Fellow, Asia Society Policy Institute; former Deputy Secretary, Indo-Pacific Group, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Director-General of the Office of National Assessments (Australia) ‘Euan Graham provides an invaluable account of Australia’s trials and tribulations to cope with political interference, economic coercion, security threats, and other challenges from China. His timely book offers useful lessons, especially for small and medium-sized states who seek to build domestic resilience and protect their sovereignty from China’s multi-spectrum challenges.’ Bonnie Glaser, Director, Asia Program, German Marshall Fund of the United States ‘This is a contemporary and concise book. It analyses what has happened on the ground, and how things will likely move in the foreseeable future regarding Australia and China but also involving ASEAN and South Pacific states in the wake of the contestation for influence and power by Beijing and Washington. The key takeaway is that foreign policy begins at home, and no quick fix is possible.’ – Ambassador Ong Keng Yong, Executive Deputy Chairman of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore; Ambassador-at-Large, Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs; former Secretary-General of ASEAN
