Globalisation and geopolitics – the forces that will make or break Asia
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of globalisation and geopolitics on Asia's future and Australia's role in the region.
Globalisation has powered the extraordinary economic rise of Asia. But the same components that built this success — open trade, deep supply chains, interdependence — are now fuelling the rivalries threatening to pull the region apart. Globalisation and geopolitics are now moving in different directions, and it will define the future of Asia and the role Australia plays in the region. Speakers Professor Nick Bisley Pro Vice-Chancellor Research and Professor of International Relations at La Trobe University Author of the book Asian Crucible, Globalization, Geopolitics and the Contest for the Future Dr Michael Green (host) CEO United States Studies Centre
