ASEAN in Australia’s Indo-Pacific Outlook
Ha, Hoang Thi | April 2018
Abstract
This article aims to locate the place of ASEAN in Australia’s Indo-Pacific outlook, by dissecting Australia’s defense and foreign policy formulations, its strategic interests vis-à-vis ASEAN, and the outcomes of the AASS. It argues that Australia’s embrace of the Indo-Pacific does not undermine the value of ASEAN in Australian foreign policy. On the contrary, Australia’s interests in ASEAN’s open regionalism and economic dynamism come into sharper focus with the extension of its outlook from Asia-Pacific to Indo-Pacific.

Pryke, Jonathan (Lowy Institute For International Policy, 2018-07-30)I welcome the opportunity to make a submission to the Join Standing Committee’s review of Australia’s aid program. Over the past five years, through successive budget cuts, a hasty merger of AusAID into DFAT, and a consequent attrition of development professionals, the aid program has been left under considerable strain.

It is for this reason ...A stable and prosperous Pacific Islands region is essential for Australia’s security and foreign policy.
