Abstract

This chapter examines how Australia’s relationship with the OECD has been organised, particularly the extensive engagement between agencies in Canberra and the work of the OECD in numerous committees and subsidiary bodies. It notes that Australia’s remoteness has placed greater demands for both travel when compared with most OECD members, while members of the Delegation must cover attendance at more meetings. Communication has been particularly important, both in ensuring coordination across government agencies and between Paris and Canberra, although the OECD’s early adoption of electronic document systems eased this challenge. The chapter also examines the financial aspects of the engagement and aspects arrangements for Ministerial Council Meetings. The chapter sets out the challenges faced in securing effective engagement by a middle power such as Australia in a remotely located international organisation. Key Words: coordination; communication; ambassadors; committees
