The White Paper on Australian external action: Opportunity, security and strength (DIEEEA72-2017)

Australia, honoring its commitments, has recently published the White Paper of its external action. Hence, in 2012 he published the White Paper, Australia in the Asian Century, which we reviewed in this same space, considering it as the most important document in the Australian strategic thinking. This document established the regional geopolitical framework and its possible evolution in the horizon of 2025. Thereafter, in 2016, a year after the official announcement, the White Paper on the Australia's appeared, accompanied by an integrated program with a horizon of 10 years and a statement on the defense industry, which we also qualify from this webpage as a "responsible example". In this line, the White Paper, in the Ministerial Foreword signed by Julie Bishop, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Steven Clobo, Minister of Commerce, Tourism and Investments, expresses the desire «that future Australian governments regularly take the opportunity to engage the Australian community on our place in the world and explain the reasons for our international engagement».
