| description | This dissertation examines the strategic significance of Australia’s deployment of elements of its military power to a series of wars of choice in the Middle East region between 1990-2014.

It demonstrates Australia displayed consistent strategic inconsistency between the nation’s strategic outlook and its approaches to war, military power, and strategy. |
