In the National Interest

Australia is facing questions that will define its future. In the National Interest, Monash University Publishing’s flagship series, focuses on the challenges that Australia confronts. Sharp, short and unflinching, each book makes the case for practical, evidence-based ways to make our nation better and bolder.

Bringing together Australia’s best minds – eminent researchers, journalists, policymakers and political practitioners – the series seeks to inform, influence and invigorate our public discourse. From leadership in modern politics to Australia’s role in our region, from gender and power to economic reform, it adds evidence and nuance to debates all too often rendered simplistic.
