Foreign Policy

The purpose of our work is to help shape and influence a foreign policy that will promote the twin goals of a more secure Australia and an international order based on liberal values, rules of engagement and outcomes. CIS is taking the lead in identifying underlying current and future trends and issues; and introducing themes that will define and shape future policy. This includes contributions to debate and discussion on issues such as immigration and refugee policy and foreign aid. Our recent work has concentrated on the ever dynamic changes occurring in China and India and the lack of change in the Pacific region.
