Debt-for-development Exchanges as a Means to Enhance the Security of Australia and the Region

当澳大利亚目前取消贫穷国家欠它的债务时，它对节省下来的钱将如何使用几乎没有控制权。债务换发展交易所为澳大利亚提供了这种控制权，同时保留了受援国的主权。然而，澳大利亚从未进行过任何交换。 其他七个国家已经有效地使用了这项技术来实现发展目标。我们将分析他们的经验，为澳大利亚利用这一技术实现加强安全和发展成果提供路线图。

When Australia currently cancels debts owed to it by poor countries it has little control over how the money saved will be spent. Debt-for-development exchanges offer Australia this control while preserving the sovereignty of the recipient countries. Yet Australia has never undertaken an exchange. Seven other nations have used this technique effectively to achieve developmental ends. We will analyse their experiences to provide a road map for Australia to use this technique to achieve security-enhancing and developmental outcomes.
