Abstract

As Asia Pacific is becoming the whirlpool of strategic competition with its growing importance of geo-economic and geo-politics it, however, set Australia policy-makers into dilemma. Indian Ocean, Malacca strait, and South China Sea are very important maritime sea lanes that also have large amounts of hydrocarbon reserves. It is not surprising if the region has become a vortex for strategic competition amongst regional players. With US re-presence in the region, strategic competition will be intensified. This essay will answer the questions related to Australia’s interests in the rebooting US-Australia alliance and the implications for Australia’s foreign policy in its relationships with Asia Pacific. This essay argues that the rebooting alliance is part of Australia soft balancing policy towards China. The alliance also provides a window of opportunity for Australia towards a more independent ally of the US in the region.
