This historical overview of Australian republicanism includes a complete draft republican Constitution and offers analysis by leading political scientists on changes necessary to achieve good republican government. It also takes a wider historical and comparative perspective with an analysis of European republicanism and the German presidency by a leading European political scientist. The tone of the book is dispassionate, with several contributors opposing or unsympathetic to a republic. It should be of interest to those who wish to contribute to the debate about Australia's future and to understand the implications of an Australian republic.
