The United States Studies Centre launched the latest edition of the USSC’s annual public opinion polling. The 2024 Allies and Partners Poll by USSC Director of Research Jared Mondschein and Research Associates Samuel Garrett and Ava Kalinauskas reveals that despite uncertainties about the US presidential election, the publics of Australia, the United States and Japan are converging in their views of alliances and China.
Do Australians believe their alliance with the United States should continue if Donald Trump is re-elected? How would all three countries react to an invasion of Taiwan? Is support for AUKUS growing or in decline?
The event featured two panel discussions with USSC experts dissecting the latest public opinion findings from Australia, the United States and Japan ahead of a historic election.
1. How do Australia, the United States and Japan think about the future of alliance cooperation, economic security and AUKUS?

On the eve of its February 2022 invasion, Russia conducted a massive cyber attack on Ukraine’s satellite communications that not only downed services in Ukraine, but the spill-over effects were also felt all across Europe. Two-and-a-half years later, what many saw as the first true cyber war in world history is now also characterised by disinformation warfare.
At last month’s NATO’s Washington Summit, the allies doubled-down on a commitment to engage and work with partners in the Indo-Pacific, particularly on cyber defence, countering disinformation, and technology.
What lessons can we learn about cyber threats and the role of technological innovation from the war in Ukraine? What do these trends tell us about cyber threats and opportunities in the future? How can NATO and partners in the Indo-Pacific apply these lessons in the ongoing technological race against potential adversaries and strategic competitors?
To discuss these issues, the USSC hosted a public forum featuring NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Innovation, Hybrid and Cyber James Appathurai in conversation with Dr Michael Green.

The USSC hosted historians Frances Clarke, Michael Green, Michael McDonnell, and Kathryn Schumaker of the University of Sydney and the United States Centre for a lively discussion of Associate Professor Frances Clarke’s award-winning book, Of Age: Boy Soldiers and the American Civil War (Oxford University Press, 2024).
Roughly ten per cent of all soldiers in the American Civil War were underaged. As Clarke and her co-author Rebecca Jo Plant reveal in Of Age, these boys and young men not only contributed vitally to the Union Army, but they also challenged the scope of American federal authority. As boys ran off to join the war effort, their parents often sought to bring them back home. The point at which a father’s authority ended and the United States Government’s began became the subject of intense conflicts over the meanings of childhood, parental rights, and state power in America.
For Of Age, Clarke and Plant received the prestigious 2024 Lincoln Prize, awarded by the Gilder Lehrman Center for the best book on the Civil War, and the Grace Abbott Prize, awarded by the Society for the History of Children and Youth for the best English-language book on the history of children, childhood or youth published in 2023.

In his third run for the White House, Donald Trump’s hold over the Republican Party appears to be stronger than ever. Even his former rivals are rallying around him — and echoing Trump's signalling that he may not respect the election result in November.
But Trump’s selection of a younger running mate in Ohio Senator JD Vance has ignited discussion about the future of the Republican party, the America First movement and American democracy itself. With a resurgent Democratic Party under Vice President Kamala Harris looking to maintain control of the White House for another four years, the world is watching to see whether the Republican Party will remain in lockstep with the former president or begin to move out of Trump's shadow.
Former Republican Congresswoman Barbara Comstock served as the US representative for Virginia’s 10th Congressional district in the House of Representatives between 2015 to 2019, and was named as one of the ‘Top Ten Most Effective Lawmakers’ in the 115th Congress by the Center for Effective Lawmaking. As an ABC News political contributor and regular guest on CNN, PBS and MSNBC, she has spoken extensively on the state and future of the modern Republican Party. She also co-chairs the bipartisan National Council on Election Integrity, which is dedicated to combatting election disinformation.
Can Trumpism outlive Trump himself? What is the future of the Republican Party? How can election integrity be preserved in a time of deep political polarisation? What should Australians be watching for in the lead-up to the election?
To answer these questions, the USSC hosted a live event with former Congresswoman Barbara Comstock, in conversation with Australian Financial Review senior editor Emma Connors.

The 2024 US presidential race now looks dramatically different compared to just three weeks ago. Democrats will head into the party’s national convention with a new name at the top of the ticket, Vice President Kamala Harris, alongside her newly minted running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. With less than 80 days until Americans head to the polls, all eyes will be on the Democratic National Convention to see how Democrats capitalise on this newfound momentum and navigate the fresh lines of attack being launched by Republican nominee Donald Trump and his allies.
What are the key takeaways from the 2024 Democratic National Convention? What is the Democrats’ strategy for executing the shortest presidential campaign in modern US history? How is the transformed Democratic ticket reshaping the presidential race? What should Australians be watching for in the lead-up to the election?
To answer these questions, USSC hosted a live panel featuring co-host of popular television show “Planet America” on ABC TV Chas Licciardello, USSC Senior Lecturer in American Studies Dr Kathryn Schumaker, and USSC Director of Research Jared Mondschein, in a conversation moderated by USSC Director of Engagement and Impact Mari Koeck.

The AUKUS countries are on the verge of an historic moment. Over the past twelve months, lawmakers and officials in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States have made notable progress in harmonising their respective defence trade control regimes in the service of accelerating AUKUS technology cooperation. These reforms, once implemented, will mark a significant step towards the creation of a ‘defence free-trade zone’ between the three partners. At the same time, there is disagreement across the Australian and US defence communities about the extent to which these reforms will enable AUKUS projects across the board, or what more might be required to ensure that they deliver their intended effects. Notwithstanding important work to date, maximising the benefits of AUKUS defence trade harmonisation will require the three countries to address a range of legal, political, and technical challenges, both new and old, at the national and trilateral level.
How did export control debates within Australia and the United States unfold over the last 18 months, and what were the consequences? What sorts of revisions might be required in order to ensure that these reforms truly enable AUKUS projects, especially those under Pillar II? Is this the first step in a wider project of wider AUKUS regulatory reform?
In a new report, AUKUS enablers? Assessing US and Australian defence export control reforms, non-resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Dr William Greenwalt and USSC Research Fellow in the Foreign Policy and Defence program Tom Corben assess progress towards the creation of an AUKUS “defence free trade zone,” and the challenges – old and new – posed to its full realisation. This report is the successor to the authors’ highly influential May 2023 report, Breaking the Barriers: reforming US export controls to realise the potential of AUKUS. For this webinar event, the authors spoke about defence export control reforms in Australia and the United States, and what these might mean for the future of AUKUS.

As the United States heads towards one of the most consequential elections in its history, US allies and partners around the world are watching intense strategic competition play out between the United States and China. Against the background of the 2024 US presidential election, questions abound over the future of US leadership at home and abroad.
Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist David Sanger was one of the few journalists selected to ask President Biden a question in his press conference following the NATO Summit in Washington DC and has reported on Washington during the last seven US presidential administrations. His latest book, New Cold Wars: China’s Rise, Russia’s Invasion, and America’s Struggle to Defend the West, considers America’s global position in this pivotal time.
What might the 2024 election mean for global powers? What is the future of US-China relations? What should Australians be watching for in 2024?
To answer these questions, the USSC hosted a live event with New York Times White House and National Security Correspondent David Sanger, in conversation with United States Studies Centre CEO Dr Michael Green.

The 2024 US presidential election campaign is reaching fever pitch. Former president Donald Trump’s coronation as the 2024 Republican presidential nominee at the Republican National Convention will make him the first major party candidate to be nominated for three consecutive elections in 80 years. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is consumed with speculation over whether President Joe Biden will make a last-minute withdrawal from the race.
What are the key takeaways from the 2024 Republican National Convention? What is the diverse Never Trump coalition’s strategy for taking him on amid growing questions about President Biden’s viability? What should Australians be watching for in the lead up to the election?
To answer these questions, USSC hosted a live panel featuring co-host of popular television show “Planet America” on ABC TV Chas Licciardello, former Assistant Press Secretary for President Ronald Reagan Kim Hoggard, and USSC Director of Research Jared Mondschein, in a conversation moderated by USSC Director of Engagement and Impact Mari Koeck.
