Case Study in Global Trade and Foreign Exchange (10 marks)  Current issues affecting Australia’s foreign policy.  

As with most other nations, Australia has evolved its trade policies over its history. Australia’s ‘tyranny  of distance’ and reliance on maritime trade have always been a constraint upon the level of trade  conducted, but its vast resources have made it a major exporter of raw materials and agricultural  products. Free trade has been and will continue to be, a key driver of the country’s economic success.  

Despite an increase in anti-globalisation sentiment over the past 5 years, Australia has continued to  seek friendly trade arrangements with willing parties. This has not always been ‘smooth-sailing’.
