| Summary/Abstract |
North-South issues as such do not figure prominently in Australia's international policy but are mostly implicit. These issues arise particularly in the context of Australia's relations with countries in its immediate vicinity, including the South Pacific, Indonesia and East Timor. There are also some global issues in the North-South context where Australia is affected. Australian governments, in developing policies relating to this context, have been influenced by a 'practical realism' that puts first priority on Australian interests as perceived by governments at any given time. The way in which those policies have been developed, in both the regional and the global contexts, can be assessed through an examination of issues relating to security and international economic relations. Australia's alliance relationship has a strong bearing on the way Australia approaches the security issues. In relation to international economic issues there are many commonalities with fellow producers of raw materials in the Global South.

| Summary/Abstract |
On 3 May 2013, Australia's former Prime Minister Julia Gillard released the Defence White Paper (DWP) 2013, making it the sixth White Paper on defence in the history of Australia, and the third since 2000. The last Defence White Paper, entitled Defending Australia in the Asia Pacific Century: Force 2030, was released in 2009 when Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was serving his first term.
Seemingly, the DWP 2013 is Australia's roadmap on matters of national security, defence and security policy and priorities. Highlighting the significance of DWPs for Australia, the Department of Defence of Australia notes:
The Defence White Papers are the government's principal policy direction to the Department of Defence. They present long-term strategic direction, government commitments, and future capability requirements. Within the Department, the White Papers inform the development of more detailed planning, capability, workforce, preparedness, and financial guidance.

America's expanding military footprint in Asia may be more of a provocation than a deterrent to China's aggressive behavior.

| Summary/Abstract |
There were clashes between protesters and the police after Mohamed Nasheed was replaced as president of the Maldives by his deputy, Mohammed Waheed Hassan, in what Nasheed said was a coup. A film aimed at raising awareness of the atrocities committed by Joseph Kony, leader of the notorious Lord's Resistance Army militia in Uganda, became an internet phenomenon, being seen by close to 100 million people in a month, but also drew fierce criticism. The Boko Haram Islamist uprising in Nigeria claimed hundreds more lives with the rebels rejecting offers to negotiate. Australia's prime minister, Julia Gillard, defeated a challenge to her leadership by her foreign minister, Kevin Rudd. Fears grew for the nascent democracy in Malawi as a prominent human rights lawyer and critic of President Bingu wa Mutharika was jailed. The king of Tonga, who introduced democracy to the south Pacific nation, died.

| Summary/Abstract |
Shortly after US President Obama and Australian Prime Minister Julia
Gillard sealed the bilateral defense deal in November 2011 under which
2500 US marines will be stationed in Australia came Obama's announcement on January 5 2012 of the new strategic defense guidance entitled
Sustaining U.S. Global Leadership: Priorities for the 21
st
Century Defence.
The document claims that China's rise might have impact on the US economy and security, and that countries such as China and Iran continue to
pursue asymmetric means of countering US power projection capabilities.
1
Both the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense
refuted these claims, arguing that not a shred of evidence exists to support
such wild accusations.
2
Many media reports nevertheless argue that competition between the United States and China amounts to a new Cold War.

| Summary/Abstract |
Australia played an important role in the acceptance of the November 1947 UN Partition Resolution underpinning the establishment of the State of Israel, recognising the nascent Jewish state in January 1949 and presiding over its admission to the UN four months later. In subsequent decades, the two states have developed a close and warm relationship (albeit not without the odd political disagreement) and multifaceted political, economic, technological, and strategic collaboration. This article explores the nature and characteristics of this relationship as it evolved the past seven decades in an attempt to determine its underlying causes and most important driving forces.
