Australia's maritime bridge into Asia
As Australia develops its relations with the Asia-Pacific region, maritime activities deserve particular attention.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, most economies of North-East and South-East Asia have grown twice as fast as those elsewhere. Most Asian countries depend upon the sea for food-stuffs, trade and longer term economic prosperity. Many are investing heavily in offshore resource developments, expanding their merchant shipping fleets and placing added emphasis on the maritime capabilities of their military forces. As these countries become more interdependent, maritime issues will become more important.
Australia's Maritime Bridge into Asia reveals the great potential for Australia to participate in maritime developments in the Asia-Pacific region. It explains how Australia has a number of comparative advantages over competitors from Europe and North America in exploiting opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region. It sets out Australia's successes in maritime fields such as ship design, boatbuilding, exploration of offshore oil and gas, information technology, and particular areas of marine science.
