Australian Foreign Affairs is the country’s leading foreign affairs journal. In a world arguably less stable than at any time since World War II, it examines the most significant global issues affecting Australia.

Australian Foreign Affairs is produced by Schwartz Media. After more than forty years of publishing some of Australia’s most influential authors and journalists, Schwartz Media has a reputation for excellence.

The AFA journal is released three times a year and publishes some of Australia’s leading thinkers, including Paul Keating, Hugh White, Linda Jaivin, Allan Gyngell, Penny Wong, Margaret Simons, George Megalogenis, Michael Wesley, Kim Beazley, Linda Jakobson, Christos Tsiolkas and many more.

Tech Wars

China, America - And Australia's Options

The next issue of Australian Foreign Affairs explores the battle between Washington and Beijing to develop and control the world’s technology, and the risks and opportunities for Australia. As consumers turn to Chinese software and devices, and Silicon Valley giants dominate global markets and communications, Tech Wars looks at the emerging security, privacy and financial risks and asks how Australia can achieve greater technological independence.

Essays include:

  • Trojan horses: How to defend against Chinese technology, by Richard McGregor
  • Lucky country: The critical mineral wars, by Ian Verrender
  • System update: An Australian-led new deal for tech, by Johanna Weaver & Zoe Jay Hawkins
  • Authoritarian nudge: The rise of China's persuasive technologies, by Daria Impiombato
