Very pleased with the launch of a major piece of work today: https://t.co/qGaYPdzo7o. More considered and public attention is needed on the crisis risks built into the strategic balance in the Indo-Pacific, and we should be more sceptical about how controllable and stable those risks are. Unapologetically long read on a serious topic but you can also grab the Strategist version (https://lnkd.in/dEk3gPM2) ANU National Security College Australian Strategic Policy Institute

As a newcomer to the national security space, I think the issue with Australia's security discourse is not merely the limited robust debate and somewhat minimal contestability in ideas, but there is also a "diversity deficit" in terms of the talent that the national intelligence and security community attracts. Scholarships like the National Intelligence Community and National Security College Scholarship for Women and others, offered by ANU National Security College have been integral in opening up young women from diverse backgrounds (like me!) to a unique field of security studies and potential career pathways in intelligence and national security, that I otherwise wouldn't have considered. Access to opportunities remains important, particularly, financially and in tangible ways, alongside carving out space for rich, contestable conversations - so that the next generation of security scholars and experts can be empowered to contribute to Australia's security discourse, even when they don't necessarily see themselves already represented in positions of leadership. I'll be keen to take Dr Elizabeth Buchanan and Bridi Rice's insights further to explore opportunities for next generational leadership in security. 🧐
