Australian Social Attitudes IV: The Age of Insecurity
Edited by Associate Professor Shaun Wilson, Dr Markus Hadler

In the decade following the end of the Howard administration, Australian politics has been defined by growing uncertainty and the emergence of popular disaffection with the political class, similar to that found in the United States and Britain. Australian Social Attitudes IV: Australia in the Age of Insecurity is an in-depth look at the economic and geopolitical tensions that pervade Australian discourse. Building on public opinion data collected by the Australian Survey of Social Attitudes and the Australian Election Study in particular, this book is designed to present the public, media, and policymakers with up-to-date analysis of public opinion about important topics confronting Australian politics and society.
