Great article in the Christian Science Monitor about Australia's proposed military buildup.
Looks like its two greatest rivals are the worlds largest democracy, India, and the worlds largestcommunist capitalist dictatorship, China. Perhaps the old theories are right about balance of power relations being independent of ideology and styles of government?
