About Australian Outlook

Australian Outlook

Australian Outlook is the AIIA’s national online showcase for high-quality analysis and commentary on international affairs. The aim is to provide an Australian outlook on world events. It provides vibrant, up-to-date content on a regular basis.

Australian Outlook is made up of four sections: Analysis, Fresh PerspectivesInterviews and Reading Room: Book Reviews from the Australian Journal of International Affairs. Each is described below.

DisclaimerThe AIIA provides a platform for debate and does not hold an institutional view on any issue in international affairs. The views expressed on Australian Outlook are the authors’ own. If you have any concerns or comments please contact – australianoutlook@internationalaffairs.org.au


Analysis

This section provides commentary and perspectives on international issues. Articles are primarily sourced on a commission basis from a wide variety of contributors including academic, diplomatic, institutional, government and non-government organisations; however unsolicited pieces can be submitted.

Articles are around 800-1000 words covering any topic in international affairs.

Fresh Perspectives

Fresh Perspectives gives former AIIA interns, AIIA youth members, young professionals and other emerging scholars an opportunity to write a 500-750 word article covering a foreign affairs issue. For information for contributors see below.

Interviews

This section includes interviews of AIIA guest speakers and other experts in their field.

Reading Room – Australian Journal of International Affairs

It is sometimes difficult to know what books to read on international issues; thankfully the AIIA has Reading Room: the online book review section of the Australian Journal of International Affairs.  Literature reviewed includes international relations, security or history, among other topics.
