This volume examines Australian Labor Party foreign policy from 1941, when the Curtin government sought to develop a more independent foreign policy for the first time, to the present day. The contributors, who include academics and a number of past practitioners of Labor foreign policy, seek to determine if a ’Labor’ foreign policy tradition can be said to exist, what its essential features might be, and how far the ALP, in government and in opposition, remained true to its principles. In their critical investigations of Labor’s foreign policy record, the authors offer no s

How can actuaries equip themselves for the products and risk structures of the future? Using the powerful framework of multiple state models, three leaders in actuarial science give a modern perspective on life contingencies, and develop and demonstrate a theory that can be adapted to changing products and technologies. The book begins traditionally, covering actuarial models and theory, and emphasizing practical applications using computational techniques. The authors then develop a more contemporary outlook, introducing multiple state models, emerging cash flows and embedded options. Using s

The relationships between ministers, bureaucrats, and overseas officers are detailed, explaining the role they played in creating Australian foreign policy. Also discussed is the influence of the policies of two leading political figures, Percy Spencer and Richard Casey, whose experience spanned the political and diplomatic services of this period.

This powerful debut collection, set in the light-filled deserts of Nevada and Arizona, introduces a darkly inventive new voice. Like an early Richard Ford, Don Waters writes with skill, empathy, and an edgy wit of worlds not often celebrated in contemporary literature. In Desert Gothic, Waters unleashes a wild and gritty cast and points them down paths of reckoning, where the characters earn the grace of their hard-won wisdom.      Set in bars, mortuaries, nursing homes, truck stops, and the “poverty motels that encircled downtown’s casino corridor,” Waters’s ten stories are full
