China and the world: public opinion and foreign policy
The Lowy Institute has just released its first China Poll, a wide-ranging survey of Chinese public opinion towards a number of important international policy issues. By what do the Chinese people feel threatened? How do they feel about foreign investment from Australia, Canada and the United States? Which country do the Chinese people regard as the best place to be educated and what do they think of Australia - is it a good place to visit, a country with attractive values or is it suspicious of China?
The 2009 Lowy Institute China Poll asked a broad sample of the Chinese population these questions and others. The Poll was partly funded with the generous assistance of the MacArthur Foundation as part of the Lowy Institute’s MacArthur Foundation Asia Security Project.

World public opinion on foreign policy
In June 2007, WorldPublicOpinion.org released the results of a worldwide survey of public opinion on foreign policy, 'World Public Opinion 2007'. The survey, led by WorldPublicOpinion.org together with the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, incorporated the results of the second annual Lowy Institute Poll published in October 2006, surveying the Australian and Indonesian publics on questions of foreign policy, international issues and the bilateral relationship. WorldPublicOpinion.org led partner research organisations in America, China, India, East Asia, Europe, South America and the Middle East to produce the worldwide report of which the Lowy Institute surveys formed a part, in total surveying 21,890 people between July 2006 and March 2007.
'World Public Opinion 2007' combines and compares the results of these surveys, and can be downloaded here. The Lowy Institute Poll 2006 report is available at: http://www.lowyinstitute.org/Publication.asp?pid=470

The Lowy Institute Poll 2006: Australia, Indonesia and the world
The Lowy Institute Poll broke new ground this year, conducting national public opinion surveys simultaneously in Australia and Indonesia. The report contains responses from both countries to questions on foreign and security policy, global affairs, and each other.
Some of the questions focus on Australia's relationship with Indonesia. Others, first asked in Australia in 2005 and repeated from one survey to the next, will reveal deep changes in opinion over time. The remainder were taken from a wider international study focused on the rise of China and India.
The 2006 poll was conducted in partnership with the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, which fielded parallel surveys in China, India and the United States. The combined results will be available here from 12 October 2006.
