澳大利亚，作为顶尖的交易大国，和人权主义慷慨的投资者，它的外交关系受到其地位的影响。澳大利亚的外交政策受到对多边和区域化得承诺指导，以及和其同盟国的强有力的双边关系。关键的领域括：免费交易、领土划分、难民、和亚洲地区的经济合作、以及在亚太平洋地区的稳定。澳大利亚在联合国和联邦中都十分活跃。鉴于它开始支持重要的地区和全球计划的历史，澳大利亚被人们称作是出类拔萃的地区中等强国。^[1]

根据SIPRI提供的数据，2005年至2009年间与2010年至2014年间，澳大利亚对主要武器的出口增加了百分之65，成为了世界上第六大进口国。^[2]

澳大利亚已经和新西兰成为了盟友，通过他们可以追溯到1900年初长期的ANZAC纽带；还有从冷战时期起，与美国也结下了很深刻的盟友关系。然而，随着澳大利亚和中国迅速发展的贸易关系，澳大利亚一直在犹豫是否要把贸易重心转换到亚洲地区。^[3]此外，大量的难民也成为主要的争议，不断涌进澳大利亚。^[4]^[5]

历史

澳大利亚外交历史

在第二次世界大战之前，英国政府处理大多数澳大利亚的外交政策。^[6] 在战争期间关键的决定是和美国在军事与外交方面都结成更紧密的盟友。1940年1月，一位被认证的外交官：B.G.Casey，被指派送往其他的国家。^[7] 从1941年起，美国就成为澳大利亚最重要的盟友和贸易伙伴。1944年，澳大利亚与新西兰，就太平洋地区独立领土的人们的安全、福利、和发展签订澳大利亚新西兰协议。^[8] 战争结束后，澳大利亚在日本的远东委员会里起到作用，在1945年至1949年间，印度尼西亚和荷兰的反叛中，澳大利亚支持了印度尼西亚人民的独立权。^[9]

澳大利亚是联合国和南太平洋委员会（1947）的创始人之一。1950年，它也提议了科伦坡计划，协助亚洲发展中国家。除了在韩战中为联合国贡献武力之外，（澳大利亚也是继美国之后的第一个宣布会这么做的国家）。1948至1960年间，澳大利亚委派军队，协助打击马来亚反叛的共党成员。之后1963年至1965年间，打败印度尼西亚支持下得砂拉越侵占。^[10]

在越南战争中，澳大利亚送去军队驱赶共党，协助越南南部人民和美国力量，在澳洲掀起了激进的举动。^[11] 1991年，澳大利亚加入了波斯湾海湾战争的联军。澳大利亚在澳大利亚、新西兰、和英国的协议中一直十分活跃；它在五种力量防御安排中，和英国与新西兰连续安排，确保新加坡和马来西亚的安全。

1999年，澳大利亚维和部队参与干预了东帝汶，在公民投票后离开澳大利亚。2006年，澳大利亚送了澳洲分遣队协助2006年的东帝汶危机。^[12]

国际组织、条约、以及协议

澳大利亚与联合国

作为联合国宣言的起草人之一，澳大利亚给予联合国以及其特殊的机构坚定的支持。1986年至1987年间，澳大利亚是安全理事会的一员；1986年至1989年，澳大利亚是经济与社会理事会一员；1994年至1996年间，澳大利亚又出任联合国人权委员会的一员。澳大利亚还在联合国其他活动中承担重要的责任，包括：维护和平、裁军协商、以及麻醉品管制。

澳大利亚积极参与联邦首脑政府和太平洋岛屿论坛的各项会议，同时也是凯恩斯小组—国家在关税和贸易合约协商中乌拉圭回合谈判中向农业交易改革施压，以及亚太经济论坛的领导者。1999年9月，在联合国安全理事会的授权下，澳大利亚领导一个国际联盟，在东帝汶恢复命令，要求印度尼西亚从该片领土撤回。

澳大利亚尤其重视与发达国家和发展中国家的关系，着重强调东南亚国家联盟内的国家，比如：印度尼西亚、新加坡、马来西亚、泰国、菲律宾、汶莱、和南太平洋的岛州。澳大利亚同时也积极参与东盟区域论坛，该论坛提倡在处理安全问题上采取区域性合作的方式。澳大利亚曾经是就任东盟发起的2005年东亚峰会的参与者。澳大利亚同意改写自己的一些政策并加入东盟的东南亚友好和合作条约后，其地位在峰会上得到巩固。澳大利亚在这时不情愿签订此条约，担心该条约的签订会对澳大利亚在其他条约的安排下，包括太平洋共同防卫组织，所要履行的义务造成的影响。

巴布亚新几内亚前任澳大利亚领土，是受到澳大利亚帮助的最多的领地。从1997年到1999年间开始，澳大利亚对针对泰国的国际货币基金组织项目作出贡献，并且协助印度尼西亚和巴布亚新几内亚应对区域环境危机和缓解干旱效应。

安全条约

澳大利亚是澳大利亚、新西兰、美国安全条约的一员。

澳大利亚同时也是澳大利亚、新西兰、和英国力量的一员。

贸易

总体上说，澳大利亚最大的贸易伙伴包括：美国、韩国、日本、中国、和英国。目前澳大利亚与新西兰、美国、泰国、和新加坡签订了截止2007年的双边的自由贸易协定。同时，澳大利亚正在计划于东盟成员国、中国、智利、印度尼西亚、和马拉西亚签订免费交易协定。

澳大利亚-智利自由贸易协定

澳大利亚-韩国自由贸易协定
更近经济关系澳大利亚-新西兰更进一步经济关系贸易协定
澳大利亚-美国自由贸易协定

军备武装

为了增强其外交政策，澳大利亚保持着很好的武装势力。根据 SIPRI的数据，澳大利亚是全世界第六大主要武器进口国。美国占据澳大利亚68%的武器进口，西班牙占据19%。澳大利亚正在让自己的武力更加现代化，同时也需要可以大大增强其远程能力的武器。2010年与2014年间进口的武器包括：5号加油机、从西班牙进口的首两艘水陆两栖突击舰，还有从美国进口的两架大型运输飞行器和4座空中预警飞行器。澳大利亚同时从美国收到了26架战斗机，还有82架正在预定中(见盒子3)，同时包括8架美国的防潜水艇战飞行器，和3驾西班牙的霍巴特驱逐舰。^[2]

外交使命

澳大利亚众议院，加拿大，就是一个澳大利亚使团的例子。加拿大作为一名联邦老乡国家，澳大利亚保持着高级委员会的身份。

澳大利亚在90多个地点都有外交代表。澳大利亚与很多国家都有正式的关系。在很多国家里，都有澳大利亚大使馆；或者在联邦制度国家的案例中，具有高级委员会的职务。澳大利亚在许多没有官方政府关系的国家都设立领事馆，这些领事馆主要是帮助来澳大利亚旅游的游客和商务人士来访。很多加拿大使团在非洲国家为澳大利亚人提供领事服务，根据加拿大，澳大利亚领事服务分享协议，这些非洲国家都没有澳洲的相应办公地点。^[13]

因为中华人民共和国的一个中国政策，台湾的澳大利亚商务和工业办公室非正式的代表澳大利亚的利益。和其他澳大利亚领事馆的功能相似。自2012年起，已被正式重新命名为台湾澳大利亚办公处。

大洋洲

Australia is a member of the Pacific Islands Forum and other regional organisations. It has High Commissions in Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu. It has an embassy in the Federated States of Micronesia. Australia provides aid to many of its developing Pacific Islands neighbours, and to Papua New Guinea.

Australia's approach to the Pacific has included frequent references to what it has perceived as an "Arc of Instability" among its island neighbours. In August 2006 Australian Defence Minister Brendan Nelson stated to the Australian Parliament:

We cannot afford to have failing states in our region. The so-called 'arc of instability', which basically goes from East Timor through to the south-west Pacific states, means that not only does Australia have a responsibility in preventing and indeed assisting with humanitarian and disaster relief, but also that we cannot allow any of these countries to become havens for transnational crime, nor indeed havens for terrorism.^[14]

As from early 2008, the Australian government led by Kevin Rudd began what it called a "new approach" to relations between Australia and the Pacific, appointing a Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific Island Affairs, Duncan Kerr. In February, Kerr and fellow Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Bob McMullan visited Samoa, Tonga and Kiribati in February, and stated:

"Broadly, the approach is one of much more partnership and engagement on the basis of mutual respect. We're not going to be lecturing or hectoring, we're going to try and work together with them and I think we set a pretty good standard with the way we started. The relationships we've established with ministers and leaders in those countries [Kiribati, Tonga and Samoa] is very positive."^[15]

斐济

Relations with Fiji are strained due to Australia's condemnation of the military coup which overthrew the government of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase in December 2006. Military leader and "interim Prime Minister" Voreqe Bainimarama accused Australia of "bullying" Fiji by applying sanctions and insisting on a swift return to a democratic government. In March 2008 the Fiji Human Rights Commission published a report which alleged that Australia might have been planning an armed intervention in Fiji in late 2006. Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith dismissed the allegations, and stated: "The best thing that can happen in Fiji is not spurious suggestions about Australian activity but having an election, returning Fiji to democracy, respecting human rights".^[16]

On 4 November 2009, Fijian military leader, Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama, expelled the Australian high commissioner James Batley and his New Zealand counterpart. He said that Australia and New Zealand had tried to undermine Fiji's judiciary and weaken its economy. New Zealand and Australia disputed key aspects of Fiji's claims.^[17] In response, Australia quickly expelled Fiji's acting high commissioner, Kamlesh Kumar Arya.^[18]

瑙鲁

Australian-Nauruan relations go back almost a century. Australia administered Nauru as a dependent territory from 1914 to 1968, and has remained one of Nauru's foremost economic and aid partners thereafter.

Relations between Australia and Nauru were essentially framed by the Pacific Solution, whereby Nauru housed a detention centre for unauthorised refugee applicants who had attempted to enter Australia, and Australia provided financial aid in return. The detention centre was closed by Australia in February 2008, causing Nauru to express concern regarding the future of its economy. ^{[来源请求]}

新西兰

The relationship between Australia and New Zealand is exceptionally close on both the national and interpersonal scales.^[19] This close relationship goes back to the time of the first World War and the ANZAC Spirit forged at Gallipoli. Former New Zealand Prime Minister Mike Moore declared that Australians and New Zealanders have more in common than New Yorkers and Californians.^[20]

巴布亚新几内亚

Papua New Guinea is Australia's closest neighbour, and former dependent territory. Relations between Canberra and Port Moresby are close, although there have been tensions in recent years. Papua New Guinea has developed much closer relations with Australia than with Indonesia, the only country it shares a border with. The two countries are Commonwealth realms, and Papua New Guinea benefits from economic development aid from Australia.

Under the government of John Howard, Australia's relations with Michael Somare's Papua New Guinea worsened, primarily because of the "Julian Moti affair", but also because of the "shoes episode".

萨摩亚

所罗门群岛

Under the government of John Howard, Australia's relations with Manasseh Sogavare's Solomon Islands were strained, primarily because of the "Julian Moti affair". Sogavare notably accused Australia of conducting neo-colonialism in the Solomons via RAMSI. On 1 October 2007, the Solomon Islands' Foreign Affairs Minister Patteson Oti addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations, and accused Australia of undermining his country's sovereignty:

Mine is too nationalistic a government to become captive to the fortunes which justify our perpetual retention under siege. My [country's government] remain[s] unmoved by Australian resistance to our attempts to reclaim our sovereignty and independence.^[21]

This led Australia to exercise its right of reply, denying the accusation.^[22] Relations subsequently improved when both Howard and Sogavare lost office in December 2007, and their successors -Kevin Rudd and Derek Sikua- immediately set out to improve relations between Canberra and Honiara.

Australia currently leads the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands, at the request of the Governor-General of the Solomon Islands.

Following the 2006 riots in Tonga, Australia sent police officers, at Tonga's request, to help stabilise the situation in the kingdom.
