Australia faces the new abnormality of a long-term weather system where geoeconomics and "sloppy protectionism" predominates. Navigating the "polycrisis" will require diversification and slightly more than simply hoping Washington will steady the ship of political upheaval.

'U.S. Foreign Policy after the Cold War' edited by Randall B. Ripley and James M. Lindsay is reviewed.

Australia's experience of the International Geophysical Year (IGY) in Antarctica (1957–8) tempers the dominant narrative of the IGY as a transformative event in Antarctic affairs. This article argues that the IGY was not a great rupture in Australia's relationship with Antarctica. Rather, because of a long cultural attachment to and continuing relationship with Antarctica based in concepts of national security and development, Australian government policy stubbornly adhered to the idea of territorial sovereignty. Recognising this continuity in Australia's relationship with Antarctica is important for reconfiguring our understanding of how the Antarctic Treaty took the form it did.
