Key Terms
- Interconnection the fact or state of being connected or linked with one another: The international think tank is dedicated to building a greater understanding of the interconnection between business, peace, and economics.
- Human Wellbeing Human wellbeing is the recognition that everyone around the world, regardless of geography, age, culture, religion or political environment, aspires to live well. Wellbeing is not necessarily bound by income, rather, it is an individual’s thoughts and feelings about how well they are doing in life, contentment with material possessions and having relationships that enable them to achieve their goals. Many factors impact upon an individual’s ability to live well including war, conflict, social fragmentation, inequality, poverty, malnourishment as well as access to resources.
- Development use of resources, natural and human, to achieve higher standards of living. Once focused solely on economic factors, now encompasses social measures and ideas such as freedom. Can be used in general terms e.g the level of development-or in specific terms e.g. a development project such as a power station being built.
- Sustainability is the balance between the environment, equity, and economy. Sustainable practices support ecological, human, and economic health and vitality. Sustainability presumes that resources are finite, and should be used conservatively and wisely with a view to long-term priorities and consequences of the ways in which resources are used. In simplest terms, sustainability is about our children and our grandchildren, and the world we will leave them.
- Environment two meanings: most commonly the physical surroundings in which organisms live. also, any identifiable structure or set of conditions within which people operate e.g. the political environment.
- Low-income relating or belonging to people who earn low wages. "low-income families" (of a country) having a low national income. "low-income African states"

Australia and Asia
- No Longer at the Centre: Australia’s Real Relationship with Asia
Despite geographic proximity to South East Asia, Australia cannot claim any particular advantage, other than as a resource and energy supplier, over other advanced western economies when it comes to insights or entree into wider Asia. Australia is not at the centre. And the stream of history and present trends are against it.
- Western Australia's Asian Engagement Strategy 2019-2030 - Our future with Asia
In August 2019, the WA Government launched Western Australia’s Asian Engagement Strategy 2019-2030 - Our future with Asia which provides a framework for our long-term engagement with key Asian markets and responds to our need to diversify the economy and create skilled jobs for Western Australians.
