  • Dragoman Digest. 28.08.2020
    Dragoman Digest. 28.08.2020 Australia’s trade with China – back in the spotlight China looks to be making efforts to diversify away from reliance on Australia Last week China announced it would open an anti-dumping investigation into Australian wine exports, reigniting debate over the two countries’ trading relationship. Fortunately for the Australian economy, exports of iron ore and coal – worth AU$63 billion and AU$14 billion in 2018/19, respectively – have thus far not been affected by political tensions. Exports of coking and thermal coal increased in the first half of the year, while iron ore exports hit a record high in June. However, China appears to be making efforts to wean itself away from reliance on Australian natural resources. In June, a Chinese-backed consortium won preliminary approval to develop the Simandou mine in Guinea – the world’s largest untapped source of iron ore. China has also made other investments in Liberia and Sierra Leonne and recently opened up four new domestic ports for so called ‘Chinamax’ ships – potentially paving the way for additional iron shipments from Africa and Brazil. China is pushing ahead to develop Thar Block-I, Pakistan’s largest coalfield. Developing these mines and the necessary infrastructure will of course take considerable time. Political instability remains a challenge in most of these countries and it is unclear whether these new sources of coal and iron ore will be competitive with Australian exports on price and quality. Nonetheless, China’s infrastructure building spree and reliance on coal will not last forever. Policymakers may eventually need to grapple with the possibility that Chinese demand for Australia’s resources is not inexhaustible.

  • The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.

  • Hon. James Marape Government ONE YEAR in OFFICE “Making PNG the Richest Black Christian TAKE BACK PNG! Nation Where No Child Is Left Behind”
    PRIME MINISTER Hon. James Marape Government ONE YEAR IN OFFICE “Making PNG the Richest Black Christian TAKE BACK PNG! Nation where No Child is left Behind” INTRODUCTION The change of Government arose from a collective desire to “Take Back PNG” from the hands of people who practice greed, nepotism and cronyism, allowing for only a few individuals, companies, businesses and urban areas to gain at the expense of the vast majority of Papua New Guineans. “Dreams are free; I have dreamt it. But work of reconstruction must start now. Papua New Guinea is blessed with abundant natural resources and it is possible we can get it done in 10 years. The manner of harvest of these natural resources under better term sheets will be my journey and story”, Hon. James Marape, MP, 8th Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea (June 19th 2019). The underlying theme of the Marape-Steven Government is “Make PNG the Richest Black Christian Nation where No Child is left Behind”. The first 12 months focused on eight key areas to operationalise “Take Back PNG” in tandem with solving legacy problems and providing strong leadership on urgent and emerging issues.

  • THE STATE of the STEP-UP Tess Newton Cain 4
    THE STATE OF THE STEP-UP AUSTRALIA’S ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PACIFIC 4 THE STATE OF THE STEP-UP Australia’s engagement with the Pacific Tess Newton Cain STATE OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 37 TESS NEWTON CAIN Introduction Since winning the election in May 2019, Scott Morrison has maintained his categorical statement that the Pacific islands region is ‘front and centre of Australia’s strategic outlook, our foreign policy, our personal connections, including at the highest levels of government’.1 Based on what we heard from Labor during the 2019 campaign period, it is safe to assume that this is essentially a bipartisan approach.2 The “Pacific step-up” is now embedded in political and bureaucratic rhetoric and its prominence is rightly associated with the leadership of Morrison. But its position in the policy ecosystem predates him becoming Prime Minister in August of 2018, dating back to a 2016 announcement by then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull3 followed by its inclusion in the Foreign Policy White Paper that was released in November of 2017.4 So, in terms of assessing how the “Pacific step-up” is progressing, we can look back over a period of 18 months or so. Late last year, as we neared the first anniversary of the release of the White Paper, I framed my assessment in terms of whether Australia’s engagement with the Pacific islands region was a ‘step up’ or a ‘stumble’.5 But a lot has happened since then. Now is a good time to reflect on what has happened, what informs what is happening now and what this might mean for the future.
