Australias Nuclear Policy: Reconciling Strategic, Economic and Normative Interests: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Australias Nuclear Policy: Reconciling Strategic, Economic and Normative Interests" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Australias Nuclear Policy: Reconciling Strategic, Economic and Normative Interests critically re-evaluates Australias engagement with nuclear weapons, nuclear power and the nuclear fuel cycle since the dawn of the nuclear age. The authors develop a holistic conception of nuclear policy that extends across the three distinct but related spheres - strategic, economic and normative - that have arisen from the basic dual-use dilemma of nuclear technology. Existing scholarship on Australias nuclear policy has generally grappled with each of these spheres in isolation. In a fresh evaluation of the field, the authors investigate the broader aims of Australian nuclear policy and detail how successive Australian governments have engaged with nuclear issues since 1945. Through its holistic approach, the book demonstrates the logic of seemingly conflicting policy positions at the heart of Australian nuclear policy, including simultaneous reliance on US extended deterrence and the pursuit of nuclear disarmament. Such apparent contradictions highlight the complex relationships between different ends and means of nuclear policy. How successive Australian governments of different political shades have attempted to reconcile these in their nuclear policy over time is a central part of the history and future of Australias engagement with the nuclear fuel cycle.

Acknowledgments
This book represents the culmination of an Australian Research Council (ARC) project examining Australias nuclear choices. In addition to the financial support of the ARC, we would like to acknowledge the support of Australias Department of Defence and the Lowy Institute for International Policy, both of which were partners in the project between 2008 and 2012.
We have accumulated a number of important debts in the preparation of this book. We would especially like to thank Hugh White, Richard Brabin-Smith, Allan Behm and Paul Dibb for input at critical stages of the drafting process, and the participants in a seminar at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the ANU for useful suggestions. John Carlson was particularly generous with his time and expertise in providing comments on the final text. We would also like to thank the anonymous referee at Ashgate who provided valuable advice on the review copy.
High value research assistance has been central to the completion of this book during a period where our increasing commitments outside the project meant that time was at a premium. Special thanks goes to Dr Helen Taylor whose research and coordination skills kept us in line and added real value to the final product. Without her support, this book would have taken much longer and may not have been completed. Cathy Moloney, Kalman Robertson and Olivia Cable provided important research assistance at critical stages in the books evolution. Kathy Bailey and Meegan Thorley deserve thanks for administrative support in managing budgets, booking shuttle services between Canberra and Brisbane, and organizing various meetings. Finally, we would like to thank Brenda Sharp and Stephanie Peake at Ashgate for their professional and highly responsive support, particularly during the final stages of the project.
A few sections in chapters 25 draw on Andrew ONeils unpublished PhD thesis, Constraints and Continuity: The Evolution of Australias Non-proliferation Policy, 197596 (Flinders University, 1999), and Michael Clarkes article The Fraser governments uranium decision and the foundations of Australian Nonproliferation Policy: A Reappraisal, Australian Journal of Politics and History 58, no. 2 (June 2012), 22135.
