America, Britain, Australia: An Emerging Anglosphere?

This paper will view the evolving US-Australian relationship from the point of view of the literature on Anglosphere. Several authors associated with this concept have argued either that the US would be wise to accord priority to cooperation with english-speaking liberal democracies (see, for example, Conquest) or that this relationship already exists and is likely to continue to develop (see, for example, Bennett). The author will survey this literature and then consider specific indicators which support or challenge the above-mentioned arguments. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
