The historical changes,evolutionary logic and future development of Australia's geopolitical understanding of Asia
The geographical features of closing to Asia and facing the ocean on three sides have had a direct impact on Australia's Asian geopolitical cognition.Several geographical views with notable time characteristics,such as"Far East","Near North","Asia-Pacific"and"Indo-Pa-cific",have been generated.There are many reasons for Australia's continuous reconstruction of Asia's geopolitical cognition,and the structural factors such as culture and geography,economy and security,strength and ambition are particularly significant,which present the evolution logic of Australia's geopolitical cognition of Asia.What is more noteworthy is that security has al-ways dominated Australia's geopolitical cognition of Asia,which has been manifested in pan-se-curity demands such as cultural security,economic security,and national defense security at dif-ferent times.Wrong security perception has caused Australia's geopolitical security problems,and establishing a correct security concept can help Australia coordinate relations with Asian countries and relieve Australia's security dilemma.
