Melbourne Asia Policy Papers
The Melbourne Asia Policy Papers are an important initiative of the Asian Law Centre, the Asia Institute, the Asialink Centre, the Asian Economics Centre and the Australian Centre for International Business at the University of Melbourne.
The Melbourne Asia Policy Papers aim to strengthen Australia’s engagement in Asia through the publication and dissemination of a series of non-partisan policy option papers.
At these workshops, business, academic and government specialists debate a series of draft policy options prepared beforehand for discussion. Following the workshop, the invited author will produce a concise, 10-page policy paper for publication and distribution among leading government, media, academic, and business officials in Australia. The names of all the workshop participants will be included in the final publication.
The topics covered so far include:
- Australia's Alliance with America
- Regional Enforcement of International Criminal Law Post-9/11
- Australia’s Economic Diplomacy in Asia
- North Korea's Nuclear Program: Getting Perspective and Weighing Policy Options
- The US, Taiwan and the PRC - Managing China's Rise: Policy Options for Australia
