ANZUS and agency in regional security (Richard Herr, The Strategist)

November 9, 2021

A new ASPI special report, Sliding-door moments: ANZUS and the Blue Pacific, released today, canvasses important lessons from the 70-year history of ANZUS in the Pacific Island region* and how those lessons bear on Australia’s Pacific step-up, New Zealand’s Pacific reset and the United States’ Pacific pledge.

While most of the moments examined in the report centred on decisions that seemed inconsequential at the time, the same can’t be said of the current pivotal juncture in regional security. The risks of the current period of strategic flux are recognised as both high and escalating.
