At the Wednesday Lowy Lunch on 16 June, Malcolm Cook and Andrew Shearer discussed how the Australia-Japan relationship can help both countries respond to the emerging new order in international relations.

Power and choice: Asian security futures
Recent events in the seas off South Korea and Japan emphasise the fragility of Asia\u27s security order and the strains the region\u27s changing power distribution are placing on it. A new major Lowy Institute Asia Security Project report, \u27Power and Choice: Asian Security Futures\u27, analyses the likely security futures for Asia and Australia and recommends steps countries should take to ensure growing regional competition does not lead to conflict. This report was made possible by the generous support for the Project by the MacArthur Foundation.

Standing together, in single file: Australia and New Zealand in Asia
In this report for the Asia New Zealand Foundation, the Lowy Institute\u27s Malcolm Cook evaluates how regional and Australian foreign policy dynamics are weakening trans-Tasman bonds when it comes to engaging Asia. For decades, the two countries shared goal of engaging Asia has brought them closer together. Now, this same drive may be pushing the two apart. There is no better sign of this than this year’s FIFA World Cup. Australia is representing Asia while New Zealand’s All Whites is Oceania’s only team
Turning back? Philippine security policy under Duterte
Overview
In this Lowy Institute Analysis, Nonresident Fellow Dr Malcolm Cook argues that the incoming Duterte administration in the Philippines promises to be very different from the Aquino administration. In particular, security policy under Duterte will be more inward-looking and focused on the country’s two main insurgencies. Military modernisation and challenging China’s claims in the West Philippine Sea will likely be less important.
Key findings
Duterte will be the first president from Muslim Mindanao and his views on security policy reflect this background. As a result, there will be less focus on Chinese acts in the South China Sea.
Duterte will be the best positioned president to address the nationwide communist insurgency and the Moro Islamic insurgency in Mindanao. His favoured approaches to both insurgencies risk significant political backlash.
Australia, the United States and Japan, as the Philippines’ most important security partners, are best placed to support Duterte’s new security policy agenda
