The book also includes chapters from Associate Professor Frank Bongiorno, Dr Matthew Jordan, Mr Jeremy Hearder, Professor James Cotton and reflections from Kim Beazley, AC, Ambassador from 2010-2016.“This book is a great contribution to our diplomatic and broader international relations literature. Well-conceived, well-organized, well-written by all its contributors, and well-edited by David Lowe, David Lee and Carl Bridge, this book is a credit to its editors, authors and ANU Press publishers. I congratulate them all, and declare Australia Goes to Washington duly launched.” – ANU Chancellor Gareth Evans AC, 24 July 2017
