Research Cluster	AUSTRALIAN FOREIGN POLICY
Contact Person	Professor John Ravenhill
Principal Researchers	Lorraine Elliott, Greg Fry, John Ravenhill, Bill Tow
Cluster Description	The Department of International Relations at ANU has long been the premier site in Australia for research on the country's foreign policies. Over the years, it has published a series of monographs that have examined various dimensions of Australia's engagement with the world. Currently, the two major publications in the academic study of Australian foreign policy are produced within the Department: Professor Bill Tow edits the Australian Journal of International Affairs; Professor John Ravenhill (together with Professor James Cotton of the Australian Defence Force Academy, UNSW) edits the Australian Institute of International Affairs' five-yearly review of Australian foreign policy, Australia in World Affairs. Members of the cluster are active in researching the principal dimensions of Australia's foreign policies, ranging from economics to environment to human rights to relations with regional states to security.
Key Research Questions	What are the main internal and external determinants of Australian foreign policy? How have these evolved over the years? How might one judge the success of foreign policies?
