In the National Interest

In The National Interest is a series from Monash University Publishing that focuses on the challenges Australia confronts. Showcasing experts both from within Monash and beyond, these short, thought-provoking and accessible books address the major issues of our times from public policy, to governance and government.

In The National Interest books reflect on the issues of the day: leadership in modern politics, pandemic politics, gender issues, Australia’s role in the region, and the relationship between the public service and the government of the day. However, while the answers are often complex this new series adds evidence and nuance to debates all too often rendered simplistic.

Curated by Greg Bain, the series offers serious general readers evidence-based arguments that spark informed debate on the issues that matter to us now.
