The issues of foreign affairs and national security have become increasingly important to Australians in the wake of the Bali bombing, the invasion of Iraq, and the 'War on Terror.' However there are a number of unknowns in research of this kind. What are the public's key concerns? How have our current attitudes been shaped and how much have our opinions changed in recent years? This project would provide crucial insights into the topic, identifying those countries seen as the principal threats to Australia, examining how and why people feel that way, and most importantly, indicating what governments can do to better inform and shape public opinion in foreign affairs and defence-related matters.

在巴厘岛爆炸案、入侵伊拉克和“反恐战争”之后，外交事务和国家安全问题对澳大利亚人来说变得越来越重要。“然而，在这类研究中有许多未知数。公众的主要关注点是什么？我们目前的态度是如何形成的？近年来我们的观点发生了多大变化？该项目将为该主题提供重要见解，确定被视为澳大利亚主要威胁的国家，研究人们如何以及为什么会有这种感觉，最重要的是，指出政府可以做些什么来更好地告知和塑造外交事务和国防相关事务的公众舆论。
