Summary: | 碩士 === 臺灣大學 === 政治學研究所 === 98 === Australia had developed counter-terrorism capability before the 9/11 attacks, but the 9/11 attacks have changed their concepts toward new security environment and neo-terrorism. Also they realised they cannot deal with figures of neo-terrorism. Hence, Australia Government amended laws; cooperated with other countries, practiced international treaties and protocols to prevent damages on Australia and Australian interests. We can found that Australia made amount efforts on international counter-terrorism; however, there have hardly research to analyse Australia’s international counter-terrorism policy on the basic of international relations theory, and no one doing research on the development of counter-terrorism in Australia.
Therefore, first I am going to introduce the development of counter-terrorism policy by historical contextual method and compare with nowadays to see its disadvantage. Secondly, I will use puzzle-solving to seek factors which affect policy decision making and policy implementation. Thirdly, I will use neo-realism as my main approach to analyse and assess the Australia’s international counter-terrorism policy. In the end of this thesis, I’m going to make a conclusion and prospect the future development of Australia’s international policy which may contain more cooperation with other states, international organisations and United Nations, and initiate international counter-terrorism law that can promote Australia’s counter-terrorism capability.
