In an era of rising danger for all, and dramatic choices for Australia, Hugh White explores how the world is changing and how Australia should respond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder Donald Trump, America's retreat from global leadership has been swift and erratic. China, Russia, and India are on the move. White explains the big strategic trends driving the war in Ukraine and why America has \"lost\" Asia. He discusses Albanese Labor's record and its post-election choices, emphasising why complacency about the American alliance—including AUKUS—is no longer an option. This essential essay urges us to make our way in a hard new world with realism and confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Canberra establishment is shocked by any suggestion that we should walk away from the ANZUS commitments. They think we can and must depend on America more than ever in today's hard new world. But that misses the vital point. It is America that is walking away from the commitments it made in very different circumstances seventy-five years ago. That was plain enough under Joe Biden. It is crystal clear today under Trump.\u003c\/em\u003e —Hugh White, \u003cem\u003eHard New World\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849230668012,"sku":"9781760645007","price":37.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23837013482814.jpg?v=1759029218","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/hard-new-world-by-hugh-white-9781760645007","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
