Condemned to Crisis: A Lowy Institute Paper

Author(s): Ken Ward

Australian Non fiction

It is often said that no country is more important to Australia than Indonesia. Yet the execution of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran is just the latest in a long line of crises that have marred relations between Canberra and Jakarta. Does Australia really need to do more to strengthen its ties with Indonesia, as some experts suggest? Have we 'squandered' opportunities to improve relations? In this penetrating analysis, Ken Ward argues that Australian governments and their critics need to be more realistic about an Australia-Indonesia relationship that will always be crisis-prone and volatile.
