At the end of our soft power journey, we examine two key Australian government documents - the Defense Strategic Review and the New International Development Policy.

How do the words we choose in government documents shape our understanding and influence our actions?

Professor Joanne Wallis sheds light on how the term 'statecraft' is used in these documents and how it has evolved over time. We also hear from lead authors and expert analysts, exploring their views on how these documents are perceived and their impact in the Pacific region.
