From the Paper:

"Since the very commencement of a notion called Australia some two hundred years ago the European occupiers have rarely felt at peace with its geography. As a transplanted, principally European, society located within Asia, far from the homelands in Europe, Australians have forever felt a sensitive logic of danger from the north. In almost every admiration, Australia is intensely disparities with the nations of Asia: race, history, society, social makeup, and population size and density. Australia is truly a peculiarity within its region as it doesn't really fit (Dean, 2000).
"It has only been over the past few years that Australia has pursued a comparatively independent foreign strategy, moving away from that of both Britain and the US. Australia's exclusive historical conditions have led to the expansion of a particular set of outlooks and characteristics that inspire its foreign relation's performance. Among other characteristics there has been a dependence condition, originally with Britain, and then with the US. An acute sense of geographic seclusion from the Anglo-American culture is also obvious along with a corresponding sense of danger from Asia. There is also a type of compensatory conduct in the way in which Australia assertively projects itself to the outside world in international mediums (Dean, 2000)."
