The Centre is Australia’s largest body of scholars dedicated to the analysis of the use of armed force in its political context and one of the earliest generation of post-World War II research institutions on strategic affairs. As a leading international research institution specialising in strategy and defence, SDSC seeks to: 1. provide ‘real world’–focused strategic studies that is research- based, research-led and world-class. Our primary expertise within the broad field of strategic studies consists of three related research clusters: Australian defence, military studies, and Asia- Pacific security. Our scholarship in these areas is intended to be recognised internationally and of value to the Australian policy community 2. prepare and educate the next generation of strategic leaders — military, civilian and academic — in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region by providing world-class graduate and undergraduate programs in strategic and defence studies 3. contribute toward a better informed standard of public debate in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region using high-quality outreach and commentary on issues pertaining to our core areas of expertise. This book contains contributions by the Centre’s six successive heads: Dr T.B. Millar (1966–71, 1982–84), Dr Robert O’Neill (1971–82), Professor Desmond Ball (1984–91), Professor Paul Dibb (1991–2003), Professor Hugh White (2004–11) and Dr Brendan Taylor (2011– ). It also includes contributions by three of its leading scholars over the half century: Dr Coral Bell, who was present at the creation of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London in the vii A NatiONAL ASSeT 1950s, and was a visiting fellow in SDSC from 1990 until her death in 2012; Professor J.D.B. Miller, head of the Department of International Relations at The Australian National University from 1962 to 1987, who, together with Sir John Crawford, then the director of the Research School of Pacific Studies, conceived the idea of the Centre in early 1966; and, finally, Professor David Horner, Australia’s foremost military historian, having led several official history projects on peacekeeping and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, and who studied at SDSC and joined the Centre full-time in 1990. These chapters are replete with stories of university politics, internal SDSC activities, cooperation among people with different social and political values, and conflicts between others, as well as the Centre’s public achievements. But they also detail the evolution of strategic studies in Australia and the contribution of academia and defence intellectuals to national defence policy. viii Contributors Desmond Ball is a former head of the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, where he is currently Emeritus Professor. Coral Bell was a visiting fellow at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre during the 1990s and 2000s. Andrew Carr is a research fellow at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre.

Hugh White is a former head of the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre and is currently Professor of Strategic Studies at The Australian National University. ix Foreword: From 1966 to a Different Lens on Peacemaking The year 1966 was by all accounts a troubled one. Tensions boiled over in South Vietnam; civil rights protests escalated in the US; coups erupted in Nigeria and Togo; and the international community struggled to hold a consistent line of action in response to security force killings in Rhodesia. In Australia, the leader of the Labor Party, Arthur Calwell, was shot and injured, and Harold Holt became Prime Minister for a short time before tragedy struck. Troubled times can generate innovations in peace making, but cooperation, commitment, generosity and further innovation are needed to sustain them. The innovation and labour of peacemaking and peacekeeping at state and supra-state level since 1945 has been much theorised and discussed. In her 1993 report for RAND, for example, Lynn Davis noted that successful interventions for peace need a shared concern about a situation, a desire to put aside vested interests, a commitment to concrete settlements and a recognition of the need for specialist help with elements of solution finding.1 Peacemaking and peacekeeping are not just writ by nation states. Nor is the analysis of peacemaking and peacekeeping exhausted by including reference to popular or protest movements like those carefully documented in books like Kyle Harvey’s American Anti- Nuclear Activism, 1975–1990: The Challenge of Peace.2 National stances can also rehearse, adopt and adapt institutional voices that run within 1 Davis, Lynn E. Peace Keeping and Peace Making After the Cold War (Santa Monica, CA: RAND Corporation, 1993). www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR281.html, accessed 5 August 2016. 2 Harvey, K., American Anti-Nuclear Activism, 1975–1990: The Challenge of Peace (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016). xi A NatiONAL ASSeT and across state boundaries. Those voices may reflect the input of a relatively small group of people, but the impact of acting on them may operate at global scale. The Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (SDSC) stands out as one of the few lasting global innovations in peacemaking from 1966. That is easily measured not only in scholarly outputs, but also in government and government agency stances and actions on a wide variety of matters, from nuclear non-proliferation to regional tensions, and from the motivations of those who seek violence as well as peace to the boundaries of domestic security. I suspect, however, that reflection on what has made SDSC successful has understandably taken a back seat to these scholarly and policy outcomes. In cases like this, the view of an outsider can help to throw into focus that which is humbly placed aside in the desire to help others. To my view, advising on peacemaking, peacekeeping, non-proliferation of weapons, threat management, conflict and intervention strategy and non-state fighters requires many of the same skills that play out at state level. Arguably too, the SDSC boasts a record of outcomes that equal or better those of some nation states. SDSC provides us with an exemplar of what results when we put aside vested disciplinary interests, when we realise that we need to look at complex, dynamic and unstable problems from multiple directions, when we see the power of collaboration across organisations, and when we acknowledge that innovations have to be communicated in multiple ways for multiple audiences. Most of all, SDSC reflects a shared concern in securing a better world. These norms are in lamentably short supply both within and beyond the academic world. Contemporary funding, policy and scholarly settings tend to drive disciplinary splintering, safe innovations in thought and inward-looking communication. Our times are just as troubled as 1966 and, arguably, the world has more need now for concerted, collective action to ensure that people live with enough safety to access and take advantage of educational, economic, social and cultural opportunities.

The centre gives particular attention to Australia’s strategic neighbourhood of Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific. Participation in the centre’s activities is not limited to members of the university, but includes other interested professional, diplomatic and parliamentary groups. Research includes military, political, economic, scientific and technological aspects of strategic developments. Strategy, for the purpose of the centre, is defined in the broadest sense of embracing not only the control and application of military force, but also the peaceful settlement of disputes that could cause violence. This is the leading academic body in Australia specialising in these studies. Centre members give frequent lectures and seminars for other departments within the ANU and other universities and Australian service training institutions are heavily dependent upon SDSC assistance with the strategic studies sections of their courses.

  • John Burton: Undermined by Dishonest History: Honest History Lecture Series, Manning Clark House, Canberra, Monday, 18 August 2014 Pamela Burton
    John Burton: undermined by dishonest history: Honest History lecture series, Manning Clark House, Canberra, Monday, 18 August 2014 Pamela Burton Dr John Burton headed the Department of External Affairs in 1947 at age 32, his minister being Herbert Vere Evatt (‘the Doc’). He and Evatt shared a joint vision for an Australian foreign policy independent of Britain and the United States. In his short public service career Burton had significant influence over Australia’s foreign policy. Ahead of his times, he held the view that Australia’s security in the Asia-Pacific region depended upon better understanding of and engagement with its neighbours. To achieve this, he advocated ‘open diplomacy’. Burton’s work and influence has been the subject of numerous scholarly works. Curiously, alongside the honest historians, there has been a concerted effort by some dishonest ideologues writing to discredit Burton and what he stood for. Sixty years on, malicious writers continue to skew the historic record by asserting that Burton betrayed his country. Why? And how can the record be corrected? I am a non-fiction writer. I would love to write fiction, but I’ve been told that it’s not my forte, because I can’t help letting truth get in the way of a good story. There are non-fiction writers, however, who won’t let the truth spoil a story. Take the example of a recent article in the magazine Quadrant, ‘The curious case of Dr John Burton’.1 A fictitious spy story if ever there was one, though it purported to be an historical account.
