Would you happen to have any notes on the US as a defence link?
- Roles of the government + NGOs relevant to the link
- Treaties and/or agreements relevant to the link
- Cultural, economic, geopolitical advantages and disadvantages to AUS
- Social justice and equity issues in AUS and other countries

My teacher has got my book for marking but here is some of the stuff I have at home:

Historical Links with the US:
  • Allied in WW2 against Japan - since Curtin's speech in 1942
  • 1951 ANZUS Alliance
  • 1954 SEATO Alliance
  • 1950-53 Korean War
  • 1965-75 Vietnam War
  • 1990-91 Gulf War
  • "War Against Terror" since 2001
  • Afghanistan since Nov 2001
  • Iraq 2003-2008
United States:
  • Australia's most important defence partner is US
  • Link originates from WW1
  • Bilateral links involve: - Intelligence
  • - Military Technology - training etc
  • 2001 (Sept 11) was the first and only time the ANZUS treaty was invoked. By John Howard
  • In 2003 Australia supported US in the war against Iraq - Rudd removed troops 2008
I have some more notes on the 'War Against Terrorism' and Iraq if you want them. Hope these have helped

NGO and Government Roles:

* Care Australia
* Amnesty International

Advantages and Disadvantages for Australia:
*Australia’s alliance with the United States is a major strategic asset. It contributes directly to our own security.
*It adds to our strategic weight and capability edge in the region, and our ability to protect our interests.
* Provides us access and influence in Washington out of all proportion to our size.
*This enhances our ability to pursue our international political, security and economic interests more broadly.
*Another important priority is defence industry cooperation. The alliance gives us an opportunity to maintain our capability edge in a world where the global economy means information-age technologies are quickly and widely shared.

Thats pretty much all I can find for the moment :)
