Building whole-of-nation statecraft: how Australia can better leverage subnational diplomacy in the US alliance

Oct 19, 2023 | apo.org.au | John K. Coyne |Danielle Cave |Justin Bassi |Iain MacGillivray

Australia can better leverage states and territories in US alliance and AUKUS

Oct 18, 2023 | aspistrategist.org.au | John K. Coyne |Danielle Cave |Justin Bassi |Iain MacGillivray

Australia’s foreign policy and place in the world have long been considered the domain of diplomats, defence officials and national-security decision-makers in Canberra. There are no departments of foreign affairs or defence, or intelligence agencies, in Australia’s state and territory governments.

The US should reconsider using undersea cables as military sensors

Oct 2, 2023 | aspistrategist.org.au | Bronte Munro |Iain MacGillivray

Advancements in fibre-optic technologies mean that subsea cables hold potential as undersea sensors that can detect tsunamis, earthquakes, marine life and, critically, naval vessels. While the technology is still in its nascent stages, subsea fibre-optic cables have dual-use potential as sensors that could revolutionise naval defence intelligence and surveillance and serve as an early warning for the US and its allies of unwanted foreign operations in the region.
Turkey’s democratic future hangs in the balance

May 10, 2023 | aspistrategist.org.au | Iain MacGillivray

Turkey’s democratic future hangs in the balance This year’s presidential and parliamentary elections on 14 May mark one of the most critical moments for Turkey in the past 100 years.

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria a week ago, and the powerful aftershock that followed, have left at least 30,000 people dead.

The death toll could rise by tens of thousands over the coming days as emergency services dig through the rubble and unearth the tragedy.
