摘要
The Australian-led Regional Assistance Mission in Solomon Islands is an example of a response to state failure. It is also the first step in a shift in Australia's policy towards the broader South Pacific - to prevent other weak states in the region going the way of Solomon Islands and moving closer towards state failure. Responding to state failure is at the top of the international security agenda, and it is likely that the incidence of interventions in failed or failing states will increase. The Australian-led intervention in Solomon Islands has a number of distinct features that make it an interesting case study, and one which might inform future international responses to state failure.
