My work considers how Australia can navigate an increasingly complex strategic environment while preserving peace, enhancing prosperity, and reaffirming the national values that underpin its role in the world.
Charlie Hoffman is an emerging leader focused on Australian foreign policy in a “post-rupture” international order. He developed an early interest
in China, travelling there twice during high school and later ranking first in New South Wales in HSC Chinese. At university, he wrote an award-winning thesis on Chinese influence in the Pacific, receiving the University Medal. Following his studies, he worked as a policy adviser to NSW Treasurer Matt Kean, completed an intensive Mandarin course in Taipei, and now serves as an Army Reserve Officer Cadet while working as a Defence and Security consultant at BCG.
As a Fulbright Scholar, Charlie will undertake study at Yale University, examining the future of Australia’s relationships with China and the United States. At Georgetown, Charlie will explore what Australia’s relationships with the United States and China will look like over the next three decades.
