Publications
The Lowy Institute is a think tank in international public policy. Its purpose, therefore, is applied research.
The Lowy Institute's publications are:
Lowy Institute Papers, the flagship publications of the Institute. These are monograph length, policy-oriented papers on international policy issues containing extensive original research. They are peer-reviewed and closely edited.
Policy Briefs, designed to address a particular, current policy issue and to suggest solutions. They are deliberately prescriptive, specifically addressing two questions: What is the problem? What should be done?
Analysis, papers which address broader or longer term issues facing Australia or the international community. They are designed to deepen the understanding of the public and the policy community about important international developments. Earlier Lowy Institute Issues Briefs can also be found here.
Perspectives, occasional papers, essays or speeches on international events and policy which make a useful contribution to deepening the debate about international policy. They are more discursive and personal than the other publications.
Working Papers in International Economics, detailed research-focused papers on a wide range of Australian and international economic issues.
Lowy Institute Poll, an annual public opinion survey on current international foreign policy issues.
Opinion, short polemical articles published on the op-ed pages of leading Australian and international newspapers.
Speeches, presentations and journal articles by Lowy Institute staff and visitors.
Lowy Institute Studies in International Policy, a collection of papers on a key theme of international policy.

India's disarmament drive an idea worth pursuing
India's tenth anniversary commemoration of its nuclear weapons tests was curiously low-key. In this opinion piece in The Australian, International Security Program Director Rory Medcalf argues that India's rekindled rhetoric about nuclear disarmament offers diplomatic openings for Australia and other countries interested in reducing nuclear dangers globally.
