Australia's partners are turning away from the values that underpin the partnership. What should Canberra do?
"When such leaders control great powers, they tend to magnify their country's great-power obsessions and tendencies. In such a world, all other nations, whether rivals or allies, must anticipate the fallout and be ready to adapt." MICHAEL WESLEY
The twenty-second issue of Australian Foreign Affairs examines the consequences for Australia as some of its most important friends and partners – including India, Indonesia and the United States – shift towards authoritarianism and illiberalism.
As Donald Trump seeks to return to the White House, The Bad Guys looks at how Australia should deal with ostensibly like-minded countries that are sliding away from democracy, and how to respond to the leaders overseeing this dangerous and unpredictable turn.

Malcolm Turnbull considers the prospect of a second Trump presidency and how Australia should respond.

Priya Chacko analyses the increasingly autocratic approach of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi.
