      abstract = {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 countrys  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 Australias relations with the Asia-Pacific region and  issues of regional and world peace. His latest book is  Australia in the Expanding Global Crisis (2020).},
