The creation of a parallel global order

Published: Aug. 29, 2024, 3:40 a.m.

In this episode of the Defence Connect podcast, Steve Kuper, Robert Dougherty and Liam Garman unpack Ukraine\u2019s Kursk offensive, Australia\u2019s exposure to global economic headwinds and Iran\u2019s mooted response to Israel\u2019s assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

The podcast commences with an analysis of Ukraine\u2019s offensive in Kursk, before examining whether the sanctions have had the desired effect on Russia\u2019s economy.

Kuper, Dougherty and Garman then assess how a growing axis of authoritarianism is creating a parallel global economy, and whether Australia would have the means to survive economic headwinds if it experienced a sharp decrease in commodity demand.

The podcast wraps up discussing Iran\u2019s mooted response to Haniyeh\u2019s assassination, and how actors would respond to regional conflict.
