Trans Tasman

Summary

Trans Tasman explores the intricate and often-overlooked relationship between Australia and New Zealand, arguing that it extends beyond simple neighborly ties. The book examines how shared history, converging interests, and enduring rivalries have shaped their unique bond. It highlights that while the relationship is often portrayed as one of camaraderie, it is a complex mix of cooperation, competition, and occasional divergence, crucial for understanding South Pacific geopolitics.

 
One intriguing aspect explored is how both nations, despite their ANZAC heritage and defense cooperation, sometimes differ in their strategic priorities. The book dissects the historical narrative, economic agreements like CER (Closer Economic Relations), and the security/defense alliance between the two countries.

 
It progresses through chapters that first establish the historical context, then delve into the economic partnership, and finally concentrate on security and defense cooperation. Supported by primary source documents, statistical data, and scholarly research, Trans Tasman provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the trans-Tasman dynamic, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in international relations and the South Pacific.

Swift Boats at War in Vietnam

John Yeoman, Guy Gugliotta, Neva...

In this oral history, Vietnam veterans recount their stories of patrol and combat on the coast and in the Mekong Delta. Developed specifically for the Vietnam War, Swift Boats were versatile craft “big enough to outrun anything they couldn’t outfight” but too small to handle even a moderate ocean chop, too loud to sneak up on anyone, and too flimsy to withstand the mildest of rocket attacks. This added challenges to an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines.   The stories in this book cover the Swift Boats’ early years, which saw search-and-inspect operations in Vietnam’s coastal waters, and their later years, when the Swift Boats' mission shifted to the Mekong Delta’s labyrinth of three-thousand miles of rivers, streams, and canals. This is an intimate, exciting oral history of Swift Boats at war in Vietnam.

Oceans Rise Empires Fall - Why...

Gerard Toal

In the last few years, it has become abundantly clear that the effects of accelerating climate change will be catastrophic, from rising seas to more violent storms to desertification. Yet why do nation-states find it so difficult to implement transnational policies that can reduce carbon output and slow global warming? In Oceans Rise, Empires Fall, Gerard Toal identifies geopolitics as the culprit. States would prefer to reduce emissions in the abstract, but in the great global competition for geopolitical power, states always prioritize access to carbon-based fuels necessary for generating the sort of economic growth that helps them compete with rival states. 
 
  
 
The Ukraine conflict in particular exposes our priorities. To escape reliance on Russia's vast oil and gas reserves, states have expanded fossil fuel production that necessarily increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Competitive territorial, resource, and technological dramas across the geopolitical chessboard currently obscure the deterioration of the planet's life support systems. In the contest between geopolitics and sustainable climate policies, the former takes precedence—especially when competition shifts to outright conflict. In this book, Toal interrogates that relationship and its stakes for the ongoing acceleration of climate change.
