On March 18, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Peter Dean was quoted in a Guardian article titled, “Peter Dutton casts Coalition as stronger than Labor on defence as election nears – so how different are they?” Dean comments on the importance of defense spending in the 2022 Australian election and looks at how opposing parties characterize spending numbers differently.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
