The Big Fix<\/em> continues in line with Palazzo\u2019s trend of presenting well-considered analysis regarding his adopted country\u2019s security vulnerabilities, both current and pending. Refreshingly, he unfailingly moves beyond the task of casting stones to provide recommendations. Palazzo does so in the context of an increasingly less reliable American ally, an experience with which Australia is intimately familiar, given its past as a junior member of the British Empire during the world wars.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Albert Palazzo, late of Brooklyn, New York, now an Australian citizen and voice within the latter country\u2019s defense community (or \u201cdefence\u201d if we want to maintain a Down Under ambiance), is a prolific writer. He is unfailingly one to, at a minimum, stir readers\u2019 brain cells. He can also incite something akin to frothing-at-the-mouth rage in those who feel their windmills are under assault. But while Don Quixote\u2019s windmills were mistakenly taken for giants, Palazzo\u2019s are giants in reality, ones whose policies are of vital\u2014even survival\u2014importance to their country and broader regional and worldwide actors. Whether his quest to motivate revision of Australia\u2019s political and security strategic thinking succeeds or proves futile remains to be seen. Regardless, this is an important book for what it says as well as for what it implies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier works of Palazzo\u2019s books include Planning Not to Lose<\/em> (a largely theoretical study of victory and political warfare; 2021), Climate Change and National Security<\/em> (with particular focus on accompanying sea level rise and related disasters; 2022), and Resetting the Australian Army<\/em> (a look at the country\u2019s defense\/defence strategy and army force structure; 2023). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Big Fix<\/em> the author summarizes his objective as \u201cto outline and promote a different and better path for the attainment of Australia’s<\/em> national defence and security, one in which a policy of dependency on a foreign state is not the central feature.\u201d (5) His \u201cdifferent and better path\u201d is the Strategic Defensive, capitalized given Palazzo believes the term is an appropriate moniker for the country\u2019s formal security policy in addition to its meaning in security literature. In considering the way ahead, Palazzo returns to the earlier discussions in his books on force structure while looking beyond military considerations alone, a later approach he finds remarkably short-sighted for overlooking the threats posed by climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By putting other defense challenges on par with those of the military, Palazzo joins an increasing but still underrepresented group, one that recognizes the inadequacy of circumscribing national security primarily in the context of military capability. He continues along these lines, stating that while he has chosen to focus on climate change as his non-military exemplar, he is aware that \u201cthere are many other potential threats deserving consideration by Australia\u2019s security policy practitioners.\u201d These include<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the growing income gap between the masses of the poor and the wealthy elites; the possibility of another pandemic, including a weaponized one; the global weakening of democracy and resurgence of authoritarianism; and the potential for cyber and artificial intelligence to destabilise essential systems. (38-39)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No country views security exclusively<\/em> in terms of military threats, of course. Those who are led similarly can monitor and, when necessary, take action when economic, informational, criminal, or other forms of aggression imperil. Palazzo\u2019s pointedly calling out vulnerabilities to health challenges is notably pertinent both in light of recent COVID-19 experiences and the inexplicable Trump administration policies that increase world exposure to future infections and\u2014arguably\u2014invite deliberate malfeasance in introducing them. Yet too few leaders are preparing for the true scope of looming challenges. Fewer still have effective government structures and national strategies to address them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Australia\u2019s case, Palazzo posits, policymakers view existing and future threats through the prisms of the country\u2019s past and present reliance on the United Kingdom and the United States. It is a reliance that repeatedly demands the sacrifice of the nation\u2019s men and women in the interest of maintaining that support. With London\u2019s failure to meet its obligations after the fall of Singapore and sinking of the capital ships Prince of Wales <\/em>and Repulse<\/em>, Canberra looked to a partnership with the United States. It was not an immediate transition. Nor was the country ever entirely dependent on either for security. While it partnered with one or the other of the two powers in Malaya, Korea, Vietnam, and elsewhere, Australia has also asserted itself as a regional security power, as actions in late 20th<\/sup>-century East Timor and early 21st<\/sup>-century Solomon Islands exemplify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palazzo evaluates Australia\u2019s security challenges today in light of the past. Citing the country\u2019s 2023 Defence Strategic Review, he concurs, at least in part, \u201cthe defence of Australia\u2019s national interest lies in the protection of our economic connection with the world and the maintenance of the global rules-based order.\u201d (21) The same document overtly recognizes an increasingly regionally-assertive China as chief threat to the world\u2019s rules-based order. It is at this point the author pointedly takes on the difficulties posed by Australia\u2019s choosing to rely on continued American commitment, recognizing \u201cto Australia\u2019s leaders it must seem supremely ironic that under the Trump presidency the greatest threat to the global rules-based order could now turn out to be the United States.\u201d (21) He also pulls no punches in arguing for a broader recognition of the threats Canberra should incorporate in his proposed Strategic Defensive policy. Palazzo takes particular aim at defense budgeting that grossly favors the Royal Australian Navy at the expense of ground, air, and cyber capabilities, the result of commitments to acquiring nuclear-powered submarines and Hunter-class frigates, and an accompanying assurance that national shipyards will maintain viability. This approach, he states, leaves the country with only seven surface warships in the period 2026 to \u201cabout 2033.\u201d (104) That current government policymakers limit themselves to an approach only concerning risks \u201coriginat[ing] from another state or sub-state actor to the exclusion of other kinds\u201d he finds \u201ccan be politely described as immature [and] unimaginative because it is unable to appreciate national security threats [not falling] within narrow and predetermined boundaries.\u201d (54)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palazzo describes his Strategic Defensive both in terms of what it is not and what it should be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Strategic Defensive means neither neutrality, utopian disarmament, nor retreat into isolationism. Australia would continue to maintain\u2026a well-resourced and powerful military. [The Australia-New Zealand-United States] alliance could also remain in effect, although it would no longer serve as the foundation of Australian defence as is presently the case\u2026. Designing, equipping, and training the [Australian Defence Force] for interoperability with a great power partner would no longer be the force\u2019s guiding ambition, as it is now\u2026. Australia would look to itself for its security and, in doing so, become a fully sovereign and independent nation. (7-8)\u2026 The weakness in relying on an imperial leader\u2014a foreign state, let us not forget\u2014to define one\u2019s grand strategy is the risk that the senior partner may settle upon a poor or inappropriate one, or even go without. (96)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palazzo is right to question the continued reliance on a partner that, of late, demonstrates it is anything but reliable. Australia, however, cannot afford to cast aside its relationship with the United States altogether. Difficult as dealing with the current administration is, this, too, shall pass. No single nation can secure the welfare of the Pacific region on its own. Australia is and will remain a necessary partner in this obligation in the service of world peace, countries\u2019 sovereignty, and citizens\u2019 self-determination. He is wise to emphasize that such security\u2014national, regional, and planet-wide\u2014is more than a function of armed forces\u2019 might. He is accurate in stating that climate change is one of the additional threats to those securities. Palazzo\u2019s book is both a reasoned argument for reconsideration of Australia\u2019s security policy and a stick-in-the-eye for those who are self-trapped in a too-limited understanding of what policy should include. This reviewer would argue that Australia, like the United States and much of the world, where populations retain some hold on democracy, is already at war with countries that recognize the broader reality when it comes to what constitutes security. Whether through complacency, ignorance, or\u2014ostrich-like\u2014an unwillingness to confront reality, these nations\u2019 leaders do not comprehend they are being assailed economically, diplomatically, informationally, and\u2014perhaps, but perhaps not\u2014militarily by others seeking to redefine current regional and broader orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
