The great decoupling: an Indo-Pacific odyssey
29 September 2022: In this Frankly Speaking Podcast, host Jamie Shea is joined by Chris Kremidas Courtney, Senior Fellow for Peace, Security & Defence, and Liam Gibson, journalist for Nikkei Asia, Al Jazeera, and Taipei Times, to give a geopolitical, economic, and technological overview of the Indo-Pacific region, and what hopes exist for trans-Pacific cooperation between the US and the liberal Asian democracies as well as China. The tech race is well under way with China leaps and bounds ahead of the rest in 5G, the US blazing a trail in quantum computing, and AI a toss-up. What lessons can the West learn from the Indo-Pacific, and what does the West do well that the Indo-Pacific could stand to gain? Tune in to find out what our speakers have to say. --------------------- Linked Content --------------------- Tabletop Report: “Europe in 2030: strengthening public-private cooperation in hybrid crises”: https://www.friendsofeurope.org/insights/europe-in-2030-strengthening-public-private-cooperation-in-hybrid-crises/ Friends of Europe’s Peace, Security, and Defence Summit, 17 November: https://www.friendsofeurope.org/events/peace-security-and-defence-summit/ The Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s proposal for an Indo-Pacific hybrid threat centre: https://www.aspi.org.au/report/countering-hydra
