The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) is an independent and non-partisan defence and strategic policy think-tank based in Canberra, the Australian Capital Territory.
ASPI was first established in 2001 by the Australian Government under Prime Minister John Howard to provide "policy-relevant research and analysis to better inform Government decisions and public understanding of strategic and defence issues." ASPI was officially launched at ANZAC Hall at the Australian War Memorial on March 13, 2002 by then Australian Minister for Defence, Sen the Hon Robert Hill.
ASPI's inaugural director was Hugh White AO, who served as director from 2001 to 2004. White was Deputy Secretary for Strategy and Intelligence at the Department of Defence between 1995 and 2000, and previously worked for the Office of National Assessments and as an adviser to Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Defence Minister Kim Beazley. White is now Professor of Strategic Studies at the Australian National University.
