Antarctic
policy is an important element of Australian foreign policy. Australia
maintains a policy in Antarctica supported by soft power policy, particularly
resting on culture, diplomacy, technology and scientific activities. For the
continuity of this policy, international support and implementation of the
Antarctic Treaties System is necessary. Australia today leads an international
regime that has governed disarmament, scientific cooperation, and environmental
protection in the region for almost 60 years, thanks to the Antarctic Treaty.

Avustralya’nın Antarktika Politikası

Öz

Antarktika politikası
Avustralya dış politikasının önemli ögelerinden biridir. Avustralya,
Antarktika’da yumuşak güç kaynaklarından özellikle kültür, diplomasi, teknoloji
ve bilimsel faaliyetlerin desteklediği bir politika yürütmektedir. Bu
politikanın devamlılığı açısından Antarktika Antlaşmalar Sistemi’nin
uluslararası kabulü ve uygulanması çok önemlidir. Avustralya Antarktika
Antlaşması sayesinde bölgede silahsızlanmayı, bilimsel işbirliklerini, ve çevre
korumayı kapsayan bir uluslararası rejimin tasarlayıcısı ve lideri olmuştur.
