After the Second World War and until the early 1970s, Forward Defence Policy was the guiding principle for the Australian foreign policy until the Vietnam War revealed the limitation of the Forward Defend Policy. The Vietnam War, coupled with the Guam Statement became a turning point for the Australian foreign policy, entailing the end of Forward Defence. From this point, Australia no longer sought to protect itself by fighting in surrounding areas, but they concentrated on protecting their territory. In the 1970s -1980s, the conceptual strategy ‘self-reliance’ was guiding the Australian defence policymaking. However, it is proved that self-reliance strategy is insufficient to cope with the complex issues in this era. Michael Evans suggested three weaknesses that self-reliance strategy possessed.
The first weakness concerns the primacy of untested theory in defence thinking; the second weakness resides in the problem of structural restriction in operational planning; and the third flaw is the lack of political instrumentality in defence planning.
