Are China and America destined for War? Great Power Rivalry in the Asia-Pacific, with Sam Roggeveen

There is a lot of talk these days about which apple cart China may or may not decide to upset next in its neighborhood (looking at you, Taiwan). To have an informed conversation about that, however, it’s important to keep abreast of the latest military developments, which is why I’m delighted to be joined by Sam Roggeveen, Director of the Lowy Institute’s International Security Program and noted expert on the region’s armed forces. We discuss the rapid Chinese naval and strategic build-up, what Australia should (and shouldn’t) do to respond to this challenge, and what Biden’s withdrawal in Afghanistan might mean for the future of American power in Asia.

Interview – Sam Roggeveen (Lowy Institute) on the military balance in East Asia and Australia's foreign policy

The Lowy Institute’s Sam Roggeveen has written a provocative new book, 'Our Very Own Brexit', arguing that the political conditions which created Brexit also exist in Australia. But forget what you have read about populism and the rise of right-wing xenophobia. What Australia has in common with Britain and other Western democracies is something we rarely talk about: the steady decline of our big political parties. The ‘hollowed out’ state of contemporary politics could lead one of our political parties to exploit an issue that ties Australia to Asia and which will determine our future security: immigration.The Lowy Institute hosted an in-conversation event with Sam and award-winning journalist George Megalogenis to mark the launch of 'Our Very Own Brexit'.Sam Roggeveen is Director of the Lowy Institute’s International Security Program.
