The global geopolitical landscape is shifting towards Asia. It can be seen in China’s bold infrastructure project reopening the historic Silk Road and in the maritime success of port cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Asia is rising but so are its connections to Central Asia, Turkey and Europe.

Perhaps the best word to capture the emerging global order is 'Eurasian'.

At the Melbourne launch of his new book The Dawn of Eurasia, Bruno Maçães discusses the increasing strategic significance of Eurasia, the dominance of China, Russia and the EU, and how the United States is redefining its place in between.

Bruno was in conversation with Dr Euan Graham, Executive Director of La Trobe Asia.

His visit was supported by Adelaide Writer’s Week. It was held at the State Library of Victoria on 7th March, 2019.
