Abstract

ABSTRACT Australia’s efforts to pursue public diplomacy through a government-funded international television service have been sporadic and ineffectual. The reasons for failure lie in the way such efforts have been pawns in other political conflicts and relationships – conflicts between Coalition governments and the ABC; conflicts between Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard that dominated the Labor government from 2010 onwards; and the wish of key players in both major parties to please Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. The Abbott Government’s 2014 axing of the ten-year contract with Australian Television slashed Australia’s international broadcasting capacity. Domestic agendas have repeatedly trumped what should be a tool of international policy.

传输中断:澳大利亚的国际电视广播

摘要澳大利亚通过政府资助的国际电视服务开展公共外交的努力是零星的，也是无效的。失败的原因在于，这些努力在其他政治冲突和关系中成为了棋子——联合政府和美国广播公司之间的冲突；陆克文和朱莉娅·吉拉德之间的冲突，从2010年起主导了工党政府；以及两大政党的关键人物都希望取悦鲁珀特·默多克和新闻集团。2014年，阿博特政府取消了与澳大利亚电视台的十年合同，大幅削减了澳大利亚的国际广播能力。国内议程一再凌驾于本应成为国际政策工具的地位之上。

期刊介绍： AJIA is the journal of the Australian Institute of International Affairs. The Institute was established in 1933 as an independent and non-political body and its purpose is to stimulate interest in and understanding of international affairs among its members and the general public. The aim of the Australian Journal of International Affairs is to publish high quality scholarly research on international political, social, economic and legal issues, especially (but not exclusively) within the Asia-Pacific region. The journal publishes research articles, refereed review essays and commentary and provocation pieces. ''Articles'' are traditional scholarly articles. ‘Review essays’ use newly published books as the basis to thematically examine current events in International Relations. The journal also publishes commentaries and provocations which are high quality and engaging pieces of commentary, opinion and provocation in a variety of styles. The Australian Journal of International Affairs aims to analyse international issues for an Australian readership and to present Australian perspectives to readers in other countries. While seeking to stimulate interest in and understanding of international affairs, the journal does not seek to promote any particular policies or approaches. All suitable manuscripts submitted are sent to two referees in a full ''double blind'' refereeing process.
