Abstract
The 'competitive evaluation process' Australia is now applying to decide who manufactures the countrys future submarines looms as a potential tipping point for the JapanAustralia strategic partnership. If the two countries were to enter into a long term relationship to build these submarines, a closer strategic partnership across the board becomes more likely. But if Australia opts for a German or French partnership, the momentum in AustraliaJapan security relations could be seriously eroded.
