Australia-Japan: Towards a Sustainable Security Community
The Australia-Japan Foundation has awarded the Nautilus Institute a grant to host two public symposiums in Melbourne and Canberra to deepen security cooperation between Japan and Australia. The symposiums will identify the key dynamics of the strategic relationship, identify next steps in two important areas of shared interest (extended nuclear deterrence and nuclear disarmament), analyze the origins and consequences of non-security issues disruptive to the relationship and develop means of containing them, and strengthen the civil society underpinnings of the developing bilateral security community.
This follows on Nautilus Institute's successful Australia-Japan Civil Society Cooperation for Nuclear Disarmament Project, also funded by the Australia-Japan Foundation.
Strong connections:
Australia-Korea strategic futures
"Strong connections: Australia-Korea strategic futures and strengthened civil society policy connections" explores government and civil society perspectives on the enduring consequences of the Korean War. Through a research workshop and public forum in Seoul, it developed new approaches to shared strategic problems such as extended nuclear deterrence.
Nautilus Institute would like to thank the Australia-Korea Foundation for their support of this project.

Australian Forces Abroad Briefing Books
Drawing together existing knowledge concerning Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Australian Federal Police (AFP) deployments on missions outside Australia. By making such material accessible, a pool of common knowledge will be created which will assist the Australian community and those communities in which ADF and AFP forces are deployed to assess Australian government policy and its impact. Briefing Books already published deal with Australian Forces in Afghanistan, Solomon Islands, East Timor and Tonga. Subsequent Briefing Books will deal with Iraq, East Timor, and other Pacific deployments and relationships.
