Thoroughly Modern Patriot

Bag om Thoroughly Modern Patriot

Australia''s connection to the British Monarchy is instinctive to many Australians. But a great deal of us don''t know precisely how or why. Part history, part biography and part common sense, this compact and readable essay from Sean Jacobs offers a ''modern upgrade'' to our understanding and appreciation of Australia''s monarchy, covering ground on Australian leadership, culture, foreign policy and even Queen Elizabeth''s appeal to the traditions of Indigenous cultures. At a time when republican designs are emerging, and Queen Elizabeth''s reign enters the eighth decade, Thoroughly Modern Patriot offers a practical and sensible look at our current arrangements, and how these can continue to serve Australia well into the future. Sean Jacobs is a Papua New Guinean-born Australian writer, government relations and public policy specialist. He has worked at all levels of government in Australia, New Zealand and PNG, and holds a BA (International Relations) from Griffith University and Postgraduate Certificate in Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism from Macquarie University. Jacobs currently lives in Brisbane.
