The Australia in World Affairs series commenced in 1950 and provides a continuous, researched scholarly account of Australia's foreign policy. The sixth volume, Australia in World Affairs 1976–1980: Independence and Alliance, opens with the accession of Malcolm Fraser's Coalition government and closes with the departure of Andrew Peacock from the Foreign Affairs portfolio. The international environment changed appreciably during these five years, amid growing concern in the West at the reported decline of American military strength relative to that of the Soviet Union. Deteriorating economies in the West, restricted access to the enormous EEC market, increased uncertainty about long-term trade relations with Japan, and recognition of the Third World's increasingly vocal role in world affairs were additional causes of concern to Australian foreign policymakers, and these were issues with serious implications for Australian domestic politics as well.
