Acknowledgements

No book, and certainly no edited volume, sees the light of day without the significant support of those behind the scenes. We are very grateful to Dr Emily Robertson for her outstanding research assistance and project management skills that were integral in preparing the volume. We thank all contributors for their sustained commitment to the project during what was for many an exceptionally difficult period navigating the impacts of COVID-19. We would also like to thank Dr Greg Raymond and Emily Tinker at ANU Press for their continuing support for the project and the two anonymous reviewers who provided important suggestions on improvements to the manuscript.

Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the generous financial support for this project provided by Australia’s Department of Defence through its Strategic Policy Grants scheme.
