The next issue of Australian Foreign Affairs examines Australia’s evolving ties with the United States as the power balance in Asia changes and as Washington continues to face bitter domestic divides.

We Need to Talk about America looks at the future of the alliance in an era in which the US’s global role and stature – which once seemed so constant – are becoming less stable and less certain.

Essays include:

• Brothers in arms: Why the alliance is making Australia less safe
• Shaky ground: Can the US alliance survive China and MAGA?
• Freedom fight: Why the world still needs a strong United States
• The view from America: Australia, Uncle Sam needs you

PLUS correspondence, The Fix, and more
