The first ASPI public event of 2020 sees Executive Director Peter Jennings hosting a conversation with the Honourable Kim Beazley AC and Emeritus Professor Paul Dibb AM

The discussion considered the thesis proposed by Emeritus Professor Paul Dibb AM in his latest ASPI Special Report, ‘How the geopolitical partnership between China and Russia threatens the West’.

The report considers a grand coalition between China and Russia as the most dangerous scenario for America in the era of growing tensions among the major powers. Facilitated by Peter Jennings, the conversation will consider the implications of this thesis for the West, including Australia.
