After the World Warâ…¡,Australia and America Formed a close alliance,and there is deep military cooperation between them.America treats Australia which is called the South Anchorage as its partner for the Asia-Pacific Strategy,but the alliance is anisomerous,Australia clings to America.So America's foreign policy is Australia's. At the same time,as a moderate country in Asia-Pacific Region,Australia has its great influence.Its economy depends on Asia and its position also closes to Asia,but its politics inclines to West,so the analysis of Australia is necessary.To the realistic significance,we can find the new factors influenced the balance of Sino-US relation from the analysis of Australia-US relation.China can treat Australia as a way to balance America by the political cooperation between China and Australia which based on the economical development.The analysis will guide Chinese to deal with America's Asia-Pacific Strategy,and it also gives a new angle of view to the analysis of Asia-Pacific situation.At the same time,it's a way to enrich the theory of Asia-Pacific study.In hope of finding a new way to analyze the Asia-Pacific situation,the author chooses the Australia-US relation as research field.The innovation of this thesis is the way to analyze.The author treats the asymmetry relation between Australia and America as independent variable,and the relations between China America and Japan as induced variable.When the independent variable changes,then the induced variable follows.So it shows influence to the Asia-Pacific situation,it likes the Butterfly Effect.The subject of this thesis is the asymmetry relation between Australia and America.First of all,the author expounds the background and significance of the study,and the overview and the main points of the study,and then gives the evaluation.After that,it's the analysis of origin and historical evolution of the Australia-US relation.The author set out the historical development and the features of the Australia-US relation.The period of before and during World Warâ…¡is the origin of the Australia-US relation.During this period,Australia changes its diplomatic emphasis from Britain to America.After World Warâ…¡to the Vietnam War, Australia and US forms the nonsymmetrical alliance.ANZUS and the Southeast Asia Treaty are the typical marks of this period.During the Vietnam War and 9.11,the Australia-US relation has a deeper development.How the Australia and America consolidate the alliance under the influence of Howardism~1.Then,it's the analysis of update and new factors of Australia-US relation after the new century.Contrast the difference between Howard and Kevin Rudd Period.The author gives the factors that influence the development of Australia-US relation,and the development trend of the Australia-US relation.At last,it's the analysis of the Australia-US relation and the Asia-Pacific situation.The author tells us first that the Australia-US relation is the indirect factor to the Asia-Pacific situation,and the Japan-US alliance is the real core. But when the China-US-Japan triangle is under the balance,Australia becomes an important factor to the triangle.It likes the Butterfly Effect.Above all,the author treats the Australia-US relation as a close alliance and fine difference,but the nonsymmetry determines the differences.At the same time, Australia faces a hard choice between Asia and America;it's also a choice between economical interest and political interest.
