US Politics and Policy Web Series with special guest Ambassador Jane Hardy
This podcast was first published in United States Studies Centre.
A rare chance to do some focused work with the United States Studies Centre at Sydney University - while still a serving diplomat (on leave) newly returned from her posting to the US Indo-Pacific Command in Honolulu - produced some ideas for whole-of-government work on the US-Australia Alliance.
The United States Studies Centre and Perth USAsia Centre host a monthly web series reviewing the latest in US politics and policy and what this means for Australia.
This month our guest was Ambassador Jane Hardy, who has joined the United States Studies Centre as a Visiting Senior Fellow from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. She most recently served as Consul-General in Honolulu from 2018 to 2021 during which time she led Australia’s engagement with US Indo-Pacific Command.
Ambassador Hardy joined hosts United States Studies Centre Director of Foreign Policy and Defence Ashley Townshend and Perth USAsia Centre CEO Professor Gordon Flake for a discussion on the Biden administration's Indo-Pacific strategy.
