Australia’s Strategic Institutional Innovation in the Indo–Pacific
This article examines Australia’s pursuit of greater agency through four mutually reinforcing forms of strategic institutional innovation: institutional layering, institutional nesting, hybrid alignment, and values-based regional anchoring. Institutional layering enables Australia to enhance partner security and support regional stability through bilateral agreements and minilateral platforms while avoiding unnecessary provocation of major powers…
Friendshoring’ the seabed
As the conduit for approximately 99 per cent of digital communications globally, submarine cables are the backbone of the internet and modern digital societies. Amid global strategic competition, submarine cable network security has emerged as a central concern for states, ushering in a distinctive era of geopolitical-economic competition over these seabed networks. This paper focuses attention on state intervention in the form of ‘friendshoring’…
Muddying the waters’
Beyond military and economic domains, strategic competition also unfolds in the international information ecosystem as great powers vie for influence through strategic narratives. In the context of US–China strategic competition, the South China Sea disputes have increasingly become a theatre for ‘image wars’ as political actors use narratives and counter-narratives to assert and defend their legitimacy. This article is concerned with how narrati…
The Politics of Global Ocean Regions
Symbolism or substance? Europe’s naval engagement in the Indo-Pacific
Human rights at sea
The sheer vastness of the world’s oceans creates a range of security and law enforcement challenges for states and the international community, including in preventing and punishing human rights abuses at sea. While human rights apply at sea the same as they do on land, this article examines the limits of national, regional and international systems of human rights governance and international law in addressing violations of human rights at sea. …
International reputation and the Voice to Parliament referendum
During the Voice to Parliament referendum campaign, ‘yes' advocates argued that a failed referendum would harm Australia's international reputation. To what extent did this occur? This article examines how the Voice to Parliament spoke to Australia's international reputation and why it matters for foreign policy. It maps the global producers of reputation narratives and theorises about which, when and why specific audiences might matter for how r…

The rules-based order as rhetorical entrapment
In response to challenges to Asia’s security order, regional powers such Australia, India, and Japan have adopted new “Indo-Pacific” strategic narratives to promote and defend the “rules-based order.” These narratives use China’s maritime disputes with smaller neighbors in the South China Sea as a key example of Beijing’s revisionist intentions. Yet such narratives expose “rules-based order” advocates to risks of “rhetorical entrapment” as other …

Maritime sovereignty and territorialisation
Bordering the postcolonial state
In 1975, two small territories with distinct identities were incorporated within larger postcolonial states: in April, the Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim became a state within the Republic of India, while in December, the Republic of Indonesia annexed Portuguese (East) Timor. From 1975 to 1982, India voted against all United Nations General Assembly resolutions supporting East Timor's self-determination. While Western states' support is well documen…
Assessing the maritime ‘rules-based order’ in Antarctica
International Relations has become increasingly interested in maritime order as the oceans have emerged as a key site of strategic competition. The South China Sea has become totemic of contests between ‘free’ and ‘closed’ visions of the seas, and is viewed by some as a litmus test for China’s efforts to re-write the ‘rules-based order’ in other maritime domains. This article examines the maritime ‘rules-based order’ in Antarctica, critically exa…
The Demise of “Pragmatism”? Assessing the Public Debate on Australia's Engagement with China
Like many other regional powers in the Asia‐Pacific, Australia is a middle‐sized state wedged between two great powers, the United States (US) and the People's Republic of China. While Australia continues to rely upon the US alliance for security, China remains its biggest trading partner. Over the past two decades, Australia's public foreign policy discussions have centred upon Australia's “China Choice” in the context of growing strategic rival…
Introduction
Over the last decade, the scholarship and practice of international relations in Australia has become increasingly preoccupied with ‘great power competition’ between its long-term ally, the United
Enabling authoritarianism in the Indo-Pacific
In recent white papers, Australia has identified rising authoritarianism in the region as a key challenge to its regional security interests. Foreign policy discourses highlight Australia’s normative commitment to global democracy, and Australia engages in a range of democratic promotion activities. Democracy promotion by Western states has come under scrutiny by analysts of different ideological persuasions. Critics have framed American ‘excepti…
Women in Australian international affairs
This article reviews the participation of and challenges facing women in international affairs in Australia, with a focus on three sectors: the media, the civil service and the academy. We review the qualitative and quantitative data available, and share the results of a number of surveys and scans we have conducted ourselves: of the gender breakdown of undergraduate enrolments in Australian university courses focusing on international affairs; t…
Norm contestation, statecraft and the South China Sea
Since 2009, the South China Sea disputes have taken on increasing global significance. Situated within a rapidly transforming political landscape, these sovereignty and maritime disputes are totemic of contests over the regional security order and the institutions, rules and laws that support it. The United States has explicitly called upon ‘like-minded’ allies and partners to defend the so-called ‘rules-based order’ against the revisionism of th…
Introduction
East Asia's security environment is changing rapidly. Over the past five years or so, the security order has become increasingly unsettled as it is buffeted by a complex array of forces. The region is entering a period of growing rivalry and animosity states are uncertain over the strategic intentions of great and rising powers, nationalism is an increasingly pervasive force, and military spending has been ramping up in many countries over the pa…
Issues in Australian Foreign Policy July to December 2018
As previous editions of Issues in Australian Foreign Policy have observed, global politics has become increasingly defined by “disruption and volatility”.1 In the second half of 2018, contestation between the United States (US) and China ratcheted up even further, as tit-for-tat tariffs and escalating disputes over trade rules signified a distinct breakdown in economic and political convergence between the great powers. While these so-called “tra…
Maritime Disputes, Sovereignty and the Rules‐Based Order in East Asia
In recent years, maritime sovereignty disputes have become highly visible microcosms of broader contests between security orders in East Asia. Escalating tensions over seas provoke questions about how historical and territorial conceptions of sovereignty map onto maritime areas, and the continuing effectiveness of the so‐called “rules‐based order” in maintaining regimes for deciding jurisdiction of islands, rocks and other maritime land features.…
Small Power Hedging in an Era of Great-power Politics
This article contributes to the literature on the international preferences, behaviours and interactions of small powers in relation to great powers. It examines the foreign policy choices of Southeast Asian states in response to China’s energy diplomacy through two case studies: the Malacca Strait and the South China Sea. Southeast Asian states have different interests and priorities and have attempted various forms of what Ba and Kuik refer to …

Timor-Leste’s foreign policy approach to the Timor Sea disputes
Over recent years, Australia and Timor-Leste’s bilateral relationship has been consumed by contested maritime boundary claims in the resource-rich Timor Sea. Intractable disagreements over the right to build a petroleum export pipeline have led Timor-Leste to reinvigorate its pursuit of permanent maritime boundaries as ‘a national priority’. This article examines Timor-Leste’s interests in the Timor Sea and assesses its strategies for achieving i…

Contested Self-determination
East Timor's twin experiences of colonialism established its collective identity and internally recognised rights of self-determination. Political boundaries were created through negotiated treaties between Portugal and the Netherlands, and Portuguese colonialism provided East Timor with its status as a non-self-governing territory under international law in 1960. Indonesian colonialism resulted in a discursive battle over identity as both the In…

East Timor's Emerging National Security Agenda
This article focuses on the steps East Timor has taken to bolster its defense sector following its attainment of independence in 2002. In International Relations, scholars have often argued that the ability to defend territory and population from external threat is an essential component of sovereign statehood. Literature on post-colonial sovereignty, however, suggests that the external sovereignty of “weak” post-colonial states is more likely to…

Social Democracy in East Timor
Since the end of the Cold War, considerable scholarly debates have been devoted to the nature and scope of international state-building interventions in ‘fragile’, post-colonial states and their effectiveness in instituting democratic rule. By examining the construction of political institutions in East Timor, this book highlights the relationship between the social and political realms during these processes. Focusing on the roles of East Timore…
Beyond Democratic Tolerance
Newly democratising states experience challenges in reconciling “traditional” or “customary” dispute resolution practices with newly established state-based legal systems based on the rule of law. For Timor-Leste, these tensions are pronounced in continuing debates concerning the killing or injuring of women accused of witchcraft. Defences of extrajudicial punishments tend to conflate democracy with local support and fail to deal with the key ins…
