The United Nations System: How Australia can Punch Above its Weight https://www.e-ir.info/2012/08/07/the-united-nations-system-how-australia-can-punch-above-its-weight/ SCOTT LIMBRICK, AUG 7 2012 Debate has long raged over whether and how Australia should engage with the United Nations (UN). To be sure, there is little point attempting to increase Australia’s influence in the UN system if this is not in the national interest. As such this essay will describe current bipartisanship on key national interests of security and prosperity before outlining current challenges and opportunities, including the international economy, terrorism, and climate change. In an effort to encourage bipartisan engagement with the UN it will argue that an understanding of Australia as middle power should not fully determine the direction of foreign policy. Further to this it will advise that the concept of good international citizenship should be treated as a tactic in pursuing economic and security interests rather than as a national interest itself. In this way engagement with the UN can be seen as in Australia’s interests as conceived by both major parties. The essay will turn to the question of methods and tactics available to Australia to increase its own influence in the UN system and thereby generate outcomes in its strategic interests, encouraging a platform for engagement based on good international citizenship, prioritisation of the UN, and renewal of Australia’s diplomatic service.
