"Living with Dragons" charts some of the main lines in this revolutionary development and proposes some courses of policy in the most important areas. It also reflects on the underlying issues of culture and identity which are so caught up in this process.;"Living with Dragons" presents the views of key Australian policy practitioners, as well as some Asian voices, involved at the cutting edge of politics, diplomacy, business, defence and culture.
