Australia in AUKUS

AUKUS is an incipient military state and a highly dangerous development, moving rapidly to integrate society, the state and the economy in the US imperial project of warfare and global domination. It constitutes the crucible of a Leviathan state, militarising climate change. The studyin this bookis framed in a geopolitical analytical paradigm of revolutionary and counterrevolutionary movement and power energising together the existential threat of climate change to humans and capitalism, questioning the viability of the nation-state system, highlighting the predicament confronting Australians as a nation. The book's analysis is presented infour chapters, broadly indicated in the contents page. The book's architecture is framed in the political philosophy and intellectual legacy of Eric Hobsbawm, Rosa Luxemburg andGeorge Orwelland their contribution to the understanding of the contradictions of the nation-state and imperialism, capitalism and socialism, in the emancipation of humanity from war.
