Australian foreign policy

Australian foreign policy

Question 1
Identify and explain a contemporary dilemma in Australian foreign policy, paying particular attention to the factors that make it a “dilemma”, and suggest how it should be managed.

Question 2
To what extent, if at all, should the maintenance and promotion of liberal values and institutions in the international system be pursued at the risk of conflict between states? Discuss using one contemporary example.

Question 3
The international community should not involve itself in the internal affairs of states wracked by civil war and internal strife. Use examples of intervention and/or non-intervention to explain why you agree/disagree with this claim.

Question 4
To what extent does the liberal international order depend on American leadership and military primacy? Would a decline in US power and international engagement foreshadow a different kind of international order?
