Issues in Australian Foreign Policy January to June 2020
The coronavirus outbreak was a dramatic foreign policy game-changer in the first half of 2020. While alarm bells started to ring in January, the World Health Organisation (WHO) officially declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic on 11 March. The animal pathogen introduced into the human world created an abrupt series of international security shockwaves that tested community resilience and compounded situations of uncertainty and division in a more…
The Australia-Israel security relationship, oversight and the paradox of intelligence sharing
While the Australia-Israeli relationship encompasses a cordial bilateral comradeship, it has not been without diplomatic skirmishes that have tested its reputation and strength. In particular, controversial intelligence liaisons coupled with recurring security-related scandals pose significant risks and challenges to Australian national interests. This article will explore the rationale, execution and hazards of the Australia-Israel intelligence …
In defence of Australian foreign policy
While interrelated issues and challenges can only expand, the study of foreign policy in Australia is not a very healthy discipline. While not wholly wedged on life-support, there are genuine grounds for concern about the decline of Australian foreign policy (AFP) as a subject for serious academic concentration and its position as a marginalised topic of analysis. Unfortunately, attempts to reinvigorate the field continue to contend with a number…
Intelligence and the Function of Government
Strange Bedfellows
In the backdrop of a protracted global “war on terror” campaign, there has been a significant increase in the frequency and scope of informal intelligence‐sharing agreements by democratic states with non‐traditional partner regimes known to routinely employ torture. It will be argued that an international “norm vacuum” currently exists surrounding policies and practices in efforts to uphold the torture prohibition in these types of contemporary s…
A network maritime security approach to intelligence sharing in the IOR
The Indian Ocean Region (IOR) has become an area of critical strategic interest. It is also a region that contains a range of serious and evolving non-traditional security problems, including the problem of maritime terrorism. As a result, many IOR states have called for stronger pan-regional intelligence collaboration to assist in risk mitigation against such violent and destabilizing threats. This article explores the challenges involved in est…
The politics of intelligence sharing in the Indian Ocean Rim
Defence diplomacy and the Australian defence force
The practice of military-to-military engagement has been strongly embraced in the last few decades as a central tool for strategic management. Many governments in the Asia-Pacific, including Australia, have accepted the practice as an instrument of statecraft to achieve comprehensive strategic outcomes: as a means of defusing tensions, reducing hostility and shaping the behaviour of states towards each other. This article examines Australia s bro…
An Indo-Pacific norm entrepreneur? Australia and defence diplomacy
The Indian Ocean is a region of increasing importance, with booming economic opportunities, shifting power dynamics and rising geopolitical competition. To manage this transition some Australian policy-makers are advocating the practice of defence diplomacy as a mechanism to help mould cooperative practices and to build regional trust while dissipating potential or ongoing regional flashpoints. Australia's 2013 Defence White Paper identified Aust…
New engagement
Iran and the emergence of information and communications technology
This study examines the emergence of information and communications technology (ICT) in facilitating political protest in the Middle East, with a focus on the Iranian experience. With the rise of ‘emancipating technology’ to mobilise popular support, many had hoped that the incumbent regime in Iran would be steered towards a more democratic and less authoritarian path. At the same time, the Iranian regime itself has shown an increasingly sophisti…
The Privatisation of Prisoner Transfer Services in Western Australia. What Can we Learn from the Ward Case
In 2008, Aboriginal elder Mr Ward died of heat stroke while being transported in the back of a prison van operated by private security company GSL (now G4S). This article will address the role accountability mechanisms can play in improving correctional and custodial services and whether existing oversight frameworks can provide a proper supervision and quality control of private security operators. It will focus on the key reports issued by West…
