Australia's Defence White Paper 2016 emphasised the importance of a rule-based global order to support its defence and security interests. ASPI’s international program explores some of the challenges to maintaining international peace and security, both as they relate to Australia’s direct engagement as well as contributing to broader international research efforts on multilateral security issues. The international program aims to:
Deepen understanding within Australia and internationally on global security issues and multilateral peace operations
Facilitate engagement among key stakeholders in government, the private sector, and civil society on issues relating to international peace and security
Provide policy advice on emerging challenges and opportunities for Australia to contribute to efforts to maintain international peace and security
