    Beyond oil: what the Hormuz crisis means for Australia

    Why is the Strait of Hormuz crisis about more than crude oil, and what does it reveal about Australia’s hidden supply-chain vulnerabilities?  What should investment in supply chain resilience look like for Australia?  Does the green transition reduce Australia’s energy security risks, or does it shift our dependence to new materials, technologies and supply chains?  How can Australia move from a ‘just in time’ to a ‘just in case’ approach to national resilience?    In this episode, Walter Colnaghi and David Leaney join Sharryn Parker to discuss what the Hormuz crisis means for Australia’s economic security.  Sharryn Parker is a Senior Policy Advisor at the ANU National Security College (NSC), on secondment from the Department of Defence.     Walter Colnaghi is a PhD candidate at the ANU School of Politics and International Relations and a Research Assistant at NSC.  David Leaney is a Lecturer at the ANU College of Business and Economics, and a specialist in international supply chain management.  TRANSCRIPT  Show notes   NSC academic programs – find out more Beyond the checkpoint: managing Australia’s border as a strategic economic and national security asset  We'd love to hear from you!

    “The future is expensive” – managing cost-of-living while investing in security

    How should government balance national preparedness with cost-of-living pressures?  Can Australia strengthen fuel security, defence capability and supply chain resilience without undermining productivity and living standards?  How do economic pressures, housing stress and inequality shape public trust – and what does that mean for national security?  In this episode, Aruna Sathanapally, Richard Denniss and Michael Stutchbury join Rory Medcalf to examine the intersection of national security, economic pressure and social resilience.    Dr Richard Denniss is co-Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at The Australia Institute.  Dr Aruna Sathanapally is CEO at the Grattan Institute.  Michael Stutchbury is Executive Director at The Centre for Independent Studies.  Professor Rory Medcalf AM is Head of the ANU National Security College (NSC).

    Is the Trump Administration's 'Donroe' Doctrine Transforming Relations with Latin America?

    Following Washington's emphasis on the Western Hemisphere in its 2025 National Security Strategy, this episode examines Cuba, Venezuela and the intensifying US-China competition in Latin America. In this episode, Neil Melvin is joined by Dr Brian Fonseca, Director of the Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy at Florida International University, and Dr Carlos Solar, Senior Research Fellow for Latin American Security at RUSI, to assess how the Trump administration's 'America First' strategy is reshaping security and geopolitics across the Americas, and what the shift means for regional stability and US global priorities. This discussion explores: · The elevation of the Western Hemisphere to the top tier of US national security priorities. · Cuba's re-emergence as a strategic concern, including energy pressure, migration controls and intelligence considerations. · Venezuela's uncertain transition following US intervention and the risks of proxy competition. · The expansion of bilateral security agreements and US military deployments in the Caribbean basin. · The implications of this hemispheric focus for US alliances and global commitments. · Whether Latin America is becoming an arena for US-China strategic rivalry.

    2026 National Defence Strategy: evolution, not revolution

    What are the real differences between the 2024 and 2026 National Defence Strategy – and why is this an evolution, not a revolution? How is Australia thinking about national resilience, and what does a ‘whole-of-nation’ approach to security look like in practice? Are we investing in the right capabilities – and at the right speed – to meet the challenges ahead? How do global conflicts, from Ukraine to the Middle East, shape Australia’s defence outlook and strategic choices? In this episode, David Andrews joins Sharryn Parker to unpack Australia’s 2026 National Defence Strategy – what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what it means for national resilience and deterrence. David Andrews is Senior Policy Advisor at the ANU National Security College (NSC). Sharryn Parker is Senior Policy Advisor at NSC, on secondment from the Department of Defence.

    What is Driving Turkey's Foreign and Security Policy Agenda?

    As the Middle East is facing grave uncertainty against the backdrop of what is being called the 'Third Gulf War', Ankara is managing an uneasy relationship with Iran. Turkey is projecting itself as a more consequential regional actor across a variety of regional security spaces and is often described as a 'middle power'. In this episode of Global Security Briefing, Dr Neil Melvin is joined by Dr Burcu Ozcelik, RUSI Senior Research Fellow, to analyse Turkey's relationship with Iran and the main limits of Turkey's regional approach to diplomacy. This episode explores: · How Turkey approaches peacebuilding in the Middle East. · What Turkey's regional role is across different theatres in the Caucasus, Somalia and Iran. · The limits of eastern Mediterranean security architecture that excludes Turkey. · What British and European policymakers should learn from Turkey's approach to diplomacy. This podcast episode is part of a policy series for the 'Turkey's Peacebuilding in a Disordered Middle East' project of the Centre for Applied Turkey Studies (CATS) network. The Centre for Applied Turkey Studies (CATS) at the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) in Berlin is funded by Stiftung Mercator and the Federal Foreign Office. CATS is the curator of the CATS Network, an international network of think-tanks and research institutions working on Turkey.

    Truth, trust and the algorithm: can democracy keep up?

    How are everyday Australians experiencing misinformation in their daily lives, and why does it feel increasingly overwhelming? How are platforms and algorithms shaping what we see? What impact is this having on trust in institutions, political decision-making and social cohesion? What does a healthy democratic information space look like?   In this episode, Tanya Notley and Ika Trijsburg join Sally Bulkeley in conversation to explore the convergence of misinformation, media literacy and democratic resilience.   Dr Tanya Notley is Professor in the School of Arts and Institute for Culture and Society at Western Sydney University, and a leading expert in digital inclusion and media literacy. She is a founding member of the Australian Media Literacy Alliance. Ika Trijsburg is Director of Urban Analytics at the ANU Institute for Infrastructure and Society and Head of Democracy and Diplomacy at the Municipal Association of Victoria. She leads the Disinformation in the City project across five Australian universities. Sally Bulkeley is the former Deputy Head of the ANU National Security College.   TRANSCRIPT Show notes: ·     ANU National Security College academic programs – find out more ·     NSC Community Consultations Report ·     Disinformation in the City Response Playbook (2024) ·     Australian Media Literacy Alliance – media literacy resources   We'd love to hear from you!

    No worries? What Australians think about security, risk and resilience

    Why do Australians place peaceful and safe communities above more traditional security priorities? Why are AI-enabled attacks, economic crises, supply chain shocks and disinformation rising above more conventional threats in public concern? Why do many Australians want more transparency and information from trusted agencies, while also feeling overwhelmed by the information environment? Why do so few Australians think the country is fully prepared for major threats, and what does that preparedness gap mean for government and industry? In this episode, Rory Medcalf, Tom Rogers and Tim Wilford join Sally Bulkeley to discuss the findings of NSC’s Community Consultations Report – Australia's first comprehensive research report, examining Australian attitudes to national security, and perceptions of risk and resilience. Professor Rory Medcalf AM is Head of the ANU National Security College. His professional experience spans more than three decades across diplomacy, intelligence analysis, think tanks, journalism and academia.  Tom Rogers is the former Australian Electoral Commissioner and a Distinguished Advisor at NSC. Tim Wilford is Director, Community Consultations at NSC. Sally Bulkeley is Deputy Head of College at NSC.
