Rather than ignoring these realities, it outlines how Australia can work more productively within them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book argues that Australia can only become a better neighbour by understanding its history in the Pacific Islands and the ideas that have guided its foreign policy in the region for the last two centuries.

In doing so, it presents a new vision for our wonderfully diverse region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47582704599276,"sku":"9781760645571","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781760645571-neighbours.jpg?v=1777437396"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/joanne-wallis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
