Abstract
Australian
aid has been ramped up substantially in recent years: in absolute dollar terms,
Australia is now one of the OECD’s ten largest bilateral donors. In this
presentation, Andrew Rosser examines how Australian aid policy is made, the
actors involved in the process, and the implications for the size, ideological
orientation, and geographic distribution of Australian aid. He also examines
the shifts that have taken place in Australian aid policy since the election of
the Rudd-Gillard Labor government in 2007 and speculates on how it is likely to
change if, as expected, the Liberal-National Coalition wins office in 2013.
