Australia's international future

03 July 2009The world after the Global Financial Crisis will be a world which asks some very searching questions of Australia's foreign policy makers, businesspeople, and citizens. How should Australia respond to the new position of China as a key power determining the future of collective global issues? What are the challenges to Australia's economy as posed by an increasingly knowledge-intensive and Asia-centric global economy? Dr Michael Wesley, the new Executive Director of the Lowy Institute, discusses these and other issues, and in doing so, outlines his vision for the Lowy Institute over the next five years.

This presentation was made at the Wednesday Lowy lunch on 1 July 2009.
