Expectations and commitments in the Australia-USA alliance

该项目旨在调查澳大利亚-美国联盟对相互支持的高度期望与缺乏详细的安全承诺之间的差距。该项目打算使用一种有重点的方法，通过项目框架和时间上的历史片段来捕捉联盟的主题方面。预期的结果可以促进对联盟如何作为安全机构运作的理解。这些成果有助于促进就澳大利亚与美利坚合众国(美国)安全关系的代价和好处进行更知情的全国对话，并有助于在战略不确定时期就澳美联盟的未来展开辩论。

This project aims to investigate the gap between the high expectations of mutual support and the lack of detailed security commitments in the Australia-US Alliance. The project intends to use a focused approach that captures thematic aspects of the alliance through project frames and historical slices across time. Expected outcomes can advance understanding of how alliances operate as security institutions. The outcomes can help to promote a more informed national conversation about the costs and benefits of Australia's security relationship with the United States of America (USA) and contribute to debates over the future of the Australia-USA Alliance during a period of strategic uncertainty.
