Stephan Frühling is a Lecturer in strategic and defence studies at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia and is also the managing editor of the journal Security Challenges. Andrew O’Neil is Director of the Griffith Asia Institute, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia.'This book is essential reading for those with a serious interest in Australian uranium policy. The book cuts across the usual emotive arguments to bring out the policy complexities involved with uranium as a strategically important energy resource, and how uranium supply figures in Australia's pursuit of bilateral, regional and global objectives.' John Carlson, Lowy Institute; Director General, Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office 1989-2010 'An insightful book on the history and "grand bargain" that underpins Australia's uranium export policy, and the merits of continuing such a policy in a dramatically altered international environment. It is a valuable contribution to understanding the dynamics of policy and trade in a strategic commodity. The book is especially important reading in light of the contemporary resurgence of interest in nuclear energy.' Muthiah Alagappa, East-West Center, USA '... there is much in this book which will be of interest to students of these long-running controversies...' New Zealand International Review
