The world is changing, and so is Australia's place in it. A large number of general readers are fascinated by the dynamics of a rising China and a disengaging United States, in a world that is arguably less stable than at any time since World War II. AFA will make foreign affairs available and accessible to a large audience, in the way that Quarterly Essay makes serious politics popular.

Australian Foreign Affairs will encourage debate and will be open to divergent views. Its style and presentation will be clear, succinct and free of jargon. Its readers will need no other qualification than an interest in significant foreign developments affecting Australia and the region and a curiosity about the possible outcomes and responses.

Australian Foreign Affairs will feature four to five long-form in-depth articles by our best thinkers, as well as reviews and correspondence. Each issue will focus on a particular theme. Articles will be topical and wide-ranging, and often challenge conventional wisdom.
