FDI has two roles: to ensure that Australians recognise they are part of a two-ocean continent and that West Australians see themselves belonging to a dynamic, national entity in a developing region of the world. In achieving this outcome, Indian Ocean and its littoral states will play an increasingly important role in Australia’s future.
Western Australia is entering an unprecedented period of wealth and development. For this to be sustained, however, West Australians need to understand the challenges and opportunities they face, nationally, regionally and globally.
With this in mind, FDI has established four areas of research that embrace the following:
