In his critical study of Australian imperialism, Erik Paul analyses the making, character and contours of the geopolitical state from the time of the British invasion and colonisation to the present, expanding the country’s continental political and economic power. War is the crucible for its hegemonic power, nationalism, and politics. The book exposes and dissects capitalist imperialism to control and manage a growing population and to impose the grand strategy of a US client state. The geopolitics in the partitioning of the earth and the exploitation of people and the biosphere continue to create major conflict, inequality, and human suffering. Australia plays an important role in the intensification of the struggle among major powers and in the outcome of an expanding global ecological and hegemonic crisis. But the existing Australian state of exception constitutes a major obstacle to a reconciliation with China and to a peaceful regional and world order.

Erik Paul (MA Minn; PhD UC Berkeley) is with the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney. His research focuses on Australia’s relations with the Asia-Pacific region and issues of regional and world peace. His latest book is Australia in the Expanding Global Crisis (2020).

Chapter 1. The State of Exception.- Chapter 2. Australian Imperialism.- Chapter 3. Human Nature, Global War and Justice.
