Australia, Korea, and East Asia: Re-calibrating Relations with Regional Powers
James Cotton 한국학술연구원 2011 Korea Observer Vol.42 No.1
In Australia, rhetorical commitment to the United States alliance has never been stronger, yet there have been a number of historical episodes in which Australia’s interests have not received the notice in Washington that the nation’s leaders thought was deserved. The response at times of uncertainty has been to take actions that have underlined alliance loyalty. With clear signs of limitations on U.S. capability, and the continued rise of China to be the pre-eminent power in the Western Pacific, such a response may no longer be appropriate. For the first time in history, Australia’s security guarantor is not its principal trading partner. This experience has some parallels in the case of the Republic of Korea, although the full force of the regional sea change has been so far constrained by the continued threat posed by North Korea.
Middle Powers in the Asia Pacific: Korea in Australian Comparative Perspective
James Cotton 한국학술연구원 2013 Korea Observer Vol.44 No.4
Claims to middle power status depend upon capacity and credibility. The term became particularly applicable from the 1980s when Australia helped launch APEC and the ASEAN Regional Forum,and worked to effect the Cambodia settlement. This rhetoric returned during the Rudd-Gillard governments, especially in relation to the role of the G20 in global financial governance, as well as to crafting inclusive Asian regionalism. The Republic of Korea began to use the middle power concept in the 1990s, and recently has emphasised its centrality to the “trustpolitik” objectives of the current administration. While both Korea and Australia have strong interests in rule governed outcomes in respect of major Asia Pacific issues,complex problems stand in the way of pursuing this middle power goal. With China as their major economic partners while simultaneously American alliance members, they are challenged to contribute to ordering the Sino-American terrain where settled rules are notoriously absent.
