But, like the rest of the publishing world, our audience is increasingly looking for new ways to access our products. We\u2019re already on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ASPI_org\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/The-Australian-Strategic-Policy-Institute\/203044179760455\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, and they are opportunities for a greater two-way dialogue than ASPI has had in the past, as well as a way to promote collegiality amongst the wider strategy and defence community.<\/p>\n<p>Building on that foundation, we\u2019re pleased to welcome you to our new blog,\u00a0<em>The Strategist<\/em>. With input from ASPI researchers and contributors from around the world,\u00a0<em>The Strategist<\/em>\u00a0will host material to stimulate thinking and discussion about the critical strategic choices which our country will face over the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find shorter items here than in our ongoing lines, but there\u2019ll be the same mix of informed opinion and qualitative and quantitative analysis for which we are known, including commentary and discussion, graphs, maps and book reviews.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest game in town, at least as far as defence and strategy is concerned, is the planning and development of the 2013 Defence White Paper. We hope that\u00a0<em>The Strategist<\/em>\u00a0will be the \u2018go to\u2019 place for discussion of the White Paper and how it will tackle Australia\u2019s security challenges in the Asian Century.<\/p>\n<p>Our blog editorial team is the Executive Editor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aspistrategist.ru\/sitefunction\/cv.aspx?sid=3\" target=\"_blank\">Dr Andrew Davies<\/a>, senior analyst specialising in defence capability, and Editor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aspistrategist.ru\/sitefunction\/cv.aspx?sid=35\" target=\"_blank\">Natalie Sambhi<\/a>, analyst, the newest member of ASPI\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoy reading our blog as much as we enjoy putting it together. Of course, we\u2019re open to input from our readership\u2014over time we\u2019re confident that\u00a0<em>The Strategist<\/em>\u00a0will present a wide range of views and perspectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past 11 years, ASPI has been proud to produce fresh ideas and analysis on Australia\u2019s most important long-term strategic and defence issues.
