While not having land borders offers Australia some degree of security from terrorism in general, the maritime nature of our strategic and geographic environment makes us particularly vulnerable to maritime terrorist attacks. Aldo Borgu provides an overview of the nature of terrorist threats in Australia's region and proposed reforms to present security arrangements.

In this address to the Special Operations Command Senior Leadership Group on 8 September 2004, Aldo Borgu argues that although terrorism is an unpredictable form of warfare it is necessary to attempt to forecast the way it will unfold and the implications for Australia.

In this address to the Royal United Services Institute, Victoria, Aldo Borgu argues that after the 2004 election the incoming government should develop a new defence white paper which re-establishes an unambiguous link between Australia's strategic policy, the ADF's capability priorities and the government's financial commitment to Defence. That link does not appear to exist...

There is no doubt that terrorism is a major security problem that the world faces today. But there is far greater doubt as to whether it will constitute the major strategic issue the world will face over the next ten years and beyond, argues Aldo Borgu.
