Professor Joanne Wallis
Joanne Wallis is Professor of International Security in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide.
Joanne’s research analyses security, peacebuilding, and ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s strategy in the Pacific Islands and broader Indo-Pacific.
Joanne is currently leading an ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n Research Council Discovery Project that analyses how the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥-New Zealand alliance operates and why it endures using an in-depth analysis of the alliance in the Pacific Islands, the region in which it has primarily played out. She is leading a second Discovery Project that analyses ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n peacebuilding interventions in the Pacific Islands.
She is also leading an ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n Department of Defence Strategic Policy Grant project analysing whether the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n, United States, New Zealand, and Japanese alliances and partnerships could form the basis of a networked security architecture in the Pacific Islands. Â
Recent academic and policy publications include commissioned strategic analyses of the Pacific Islands region for international think tanks, policy papers mapping security cooperation in the Pacific Islands and considering the implications of climate change for maritime boundaries in the Pacific Islands, and journal articles analysing ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s policy in the Pacific Islands and the role of international interveners during peacebuilding.
