Another Mars-Venus divide?

25 October 2010

The latest edition of the Australian Journal of International Affairs features an article co-authored by Brendon O'Connor, titled "Another Mars-Venus divide? Why Australia said 'yes' and Canada said 'non' to involvement in the 2003 Iraq War". O'Connor and his Canadian colleague, Srdjan Vucetic, say that while the views of Prime Ministers Howard and Chretien were important, more attention ought to be given to public opinion, the history of both countries and the dominant views within the ruling parties. Brendon O'Connor is Associate Professor of American Politics at the US Studies Centre.
