New: Nautilus Institute RMIT awarded Australia-Korea Foundation grant
The Australia-Korea Foundation (AKF) has awarded Nautilus Institute RMIT a $33,000 grant for its project on "Strong connections: Australia-Korea strategic futures and strengthened civil society policy connections". With this AKF support Nautilus RMIT, together with its Nautilus nodes in Seoul and San Francisco, will organise a research workshop and a public forum in April 2010. The focus will be on exploring government and civil society perspectives on the enduring consequences of the Korean War, and developing new approaches to shared strategic problems such as extended nuclear deterrence at a time when the abolition of nuclear weapons is firmly on the global agenda.
Background information: Extended nuclear deterrence in the Republic of Korea.

Australian Forces Abroad Briefing Books
Drawing together existing knowledge concerning ADF and AFP deployments on missions outside Australia. By making such material accessible, a pool of common knowledge will be created which will assist the Australian community and those communities in which ADF and AFP forces are deployed to assess Australian government policy and its impact. Briefing Books already published deal with Australian Forces in Afghanistan, Solomon Islands, East Timor and Tonga. Subsequent Briefing Books will deal with Iraq and other Pacific deployments and relationships.

Australia-Japan civil society cooperation for nuclear disarmament
The Australia Japan Foundation has awarded the Nautilus Institute at RMIT $40,000 to support Nautilus Institute's response to the increased danger of nuclear war and proliferation through Australia-Japan cooperation for nuclear disarmament. The government-government relationship between Australia and Japan will be deepened by the Australian initiative to establish the International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament, co-chaired by Australia and Japan. This project seeks to supplement that with parallel work at the civil society level, which at least in the area of strategic relations, has been less developed than in other sectors.
