Abstract

This paper examines how war and peace as a bio/necropolitical regime informs Australian sovereignty. How do war and peace contribute to the Australian government’s attempts to reconfigure the demand for Indigenous rights and redefine Australia's strategic military and peace-keeping role in a transnational context. Australia's peacekeeping mission in East Timor, for instance, has become a way of securing Australia’s national interests in terms of 'keeping peace' in the Asia Pacific region. What are the implications of such internal and external consolidations of white Australian sovereignty? How may we think through and engage with this sovereignty through the concept of bio/necropolitics of white possession?
