Capling, Ann: All the Way With the USA: Australia, the U.s., And Free Trade (Briefings)
Book Number: 38945
Sydney UNSW Press 2005 8vo softcover 96pp. very good. When Australia signed a free trade agreement with the United States, Prime Minister John Howard hailed it as an historic achievement that would add "enormous long-term benefits to the Australian economy." Senator Bob Brown called it "a disaster". No trade agreement has aroused greater controversy in Australia's history. It affects domestic policy in areas such as culture, public health and copyright, while producing only meagre trade gains for Australian exports. It represents a departure from the long-standing bipartisan commitment to free trade between all countries in favor of special deals between "friends." In this lively and topical book, Ann Capling traces the evolution of Australian trade policy and examines the key issues raised by the agreement.

Headon, David: Crown or Country: The Traditions of Australian
Book Number: 39164
St. Leonards, NSW Allen & Unwin 1994 8vo softcover 197pp index, b/w illus. very good. Crown or Country is about the historical and cultural presence of republicanism in Australia. The republican debate - neither new nor even recent - commenced with the arrival of the First Fleet. It has been conducted with greater or lesser vigour ever since. The essays in this collection explore the meaning of republicanism in Australia as it developed in political movements and as it has been advanced by individuals like Daniel Henry Deniehy, Charles Harpur and John Dunmore Lang; Geoff Dutton, Donald Horne and Paul Keating. The contribution of these and many more republicans to Australian history and culture is re-assessed in this volume. The argument about republicanism in Australia in the 1990s is far more than a debate about the place of the Crown. To restrict the discussion to the presence or absence of the Queen is to miss much of the richness of republicanism, and to miss an opportunity to reshape Australia. Citizenship, rights, duties, identity and the pursuit of a fair and compassionate society are all part of the important historical legacy of republicanism. From Mr Boston's Pig to Mr Keating's committee, the essays in Crown or Country are concerned with history, personal political experience and the cultural manifestations of the long-standing experience of Australian republicanism. This book is destined to become an essential text for all those interested in the Great Republican Debate.
