- Title
Engaging Southeast Asia?
- Authors
Benvenuti, Andrea; Jones, David Martin
- Abstract
The article discusses the military withdrawal of Australian forces from Singapore and Malaysia in 1973. It examines the foreign policy of former Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam and the Australian Labor Party (ALP). The authors argue that Whitlam's policies in Southeast Asia were not as significant as other scholarship has suggested. The article examines the reasoning behind the ALP's decision to disengage from Southeast Asia, the impact the actions had on Australia's regional allies, and how Australia attempted to facilitate regional stability.
