Michael Fullilove (1972-) is an Australian foreign policy specialist, no Director of the Global Issues Program, at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney, and Nonresident Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy at the U.S. Brookings Institution

He is a former adviser to Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, an assignment which he took at age 22, before leaving on his Rhodes Scholarship.[1]

Research

He has written several papers on the Australian diaspora and the role of Australia in the world. [2] This drew on a 2004 paper, coauthored with Chloë Flutter and published by the Lowy Institute for International Policy called "Diaspora: The World Wide Web of Australians. Drawing on research by Bob Birrell, Graeme Hugo and others, we suggested it is time Australia took its expat community seriously, and factored them into discussions about national policy."

With Fergus Green, he concluded that the Copenhagen conference on global warming indicates increased cooperation between China and the U.S. [3]

Political commentary

He thought Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize speech superior to the one he gave at West Point. It surprised his audience in that it did not renounce the appropriate use of force, but clearly distanced him from the positions of the George W. Bush Administration. [4] He is of the opinion that Obama would have been better advised to give his Cairo speech in Indonesia.[5]

Education

  • Rhodes scholarship where he wrote a doctorate on US foreign policy
