- Opis:
- Australia and Japan were called as two anchors of US political and military presence in West Pacific during Cold War. Despite several decades of indirect alliance between these two countries through hub and spokes system, bilateral relations were lacking in intensity and strategic substance before 1990s. Revival of mutual cooperation was marked in 1990 by visit of commander-in-arms of Australian Defence Force in Tokyo and Japanese Defence Minister in Canberra. Breaking animosities brought to regular and broad political and military partnership which began in 1996. Cooperation through UN peace-keeping missions in Cambodia (1992-1993) and East Timor played crucial role in strengthening Japanese-Australian friendship. Canberra and Tokyo worked out beneficial and complementary cooperation (Australia as military factor, Japan as civilian contributor). War on terror since 11th September 2001 and US led operations in Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003) made a trial of common values and mutual assistance on the battlefield. Trilateral Strategic Dialogue between USA, Japan and Australia established in 2001 has been an attempt to replace hub and spokes system. Some constraints of multilateral relations resulted from different stands on North Korean missile tests, Chinese threats against Taiwan and embargo on arms trade with PRC. Australian „soft" policy towards China which becomes a major trade partner of Canberra weakens trilateral and bilateral partnership. However Japan and Australia stressed the importance of their relations by signing Joint Declaration on Security Cooperation in 2007. For both Tokyo and Canberra this declaration is, next to the treaties with US, first security agreement with foreign country. Future architecture of Asian security is a challenge for both Australia and Japan. This issue developed particularly since Kevin Rudd's presentation of the idea of Asia Pacific Community and Japanese government policy of „Return to Asia" disclosed by new prime minister Yumio Hatoyama in 2009.
