Senior Lecturer Political Science

Biography

Dr Anna Hayes is a senior lecturer in Politics and International Relations in the College of Arts, Society and Education at James Cook University, Australia. She teaches and supervises at undergraduate and postgraduate levels within the field of Politics and International Relations. 

Anna is also a Senior Research Fellow at the East Asia Security Centre, a collaborative enterprise between Bond University, China Foreign Affairs University and the University of New Haven.

Anna specialises in non-traditional threats to security, with a particular focus on China. She has presented numerous papers on topics ranging from the situation in Xinjiang, how the BRI has been viewed outside of China, as well as the Quad and the Indo-Pacific from the Australian perspective. Anna has published numerous articles, book chapters and compiled edited books on these topics. Her research also examines the return of great power competition and the impact of this on international institutions as well as middle powers within the Indo-Pacific region. 


Research

Research Interests

International relations and non-traditional security issues in the Indo-Pacific region

Uyghur persecution and genocide: Anna has published on this topic and continues to research the ongoing situation within the Uyghur homeland. More recently, Anna has focused on how the Chinese government silences criticism of their actions in Xinjiang through Belt and Road Initiative funding as well as Beijing's success in compromising the effectiveness of the Human Rights Council in appropriately responding to this issue. 

Geo-strategic dimensions of the return of great power competition in the Indo-Pacific: Anna's research provides insights into the strategic competition between the US and China and how this is playing out within the Indo-Pacific. Her research examines the Belt and Road Initiative as a grand strategy for achieving the Chinese Dream and how this impacts regional states. This includes examinations of Chinese international relations under the leadership of Xi Jinping.

The Quad, AUKUS and the Australian strategic outlook: Anna's research also examines how Australia is responding to the growing strategic competition and competing grand strategies of the US and China and how this influences Australian foreign and defence policies.
