Because of this peace and thanks to Australia's relative size as a middle power, governments' attempts to change how other states act and think has not been through the use of force but by military and diplomatic engagement and persuasion.\u003cbr\u003eAustralia's smaller size has also meant it has had to be strategic in its efforts: to determine which changes were priorities, to reorganise and develop resources, to deploy those resources effectively and efficiently, and to sustain its efforts in the face of competition and rejection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWinning the Peace\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the three main 'campaigns' Australian governments have undertaken since the early 1980s to reshape the Asia-Pacific region in the national interest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Carr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0522868169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780522868166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mup Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.35w x 1.00d","brand":"Andrew Carr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48807833993471,"sku":"9780522868166","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/winning-the-peace-andrew-carr-9780522868166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
