Adapting Australia to an era of geoeconomic competition

Geoeconomic contests pose a major new challenge to Australia’s national interests. Trade warfare, strategic investment races and competitive multilateralism have seen economics become a domain in which great power rivalries are fought. As a medium-sized, open and trade dependent economy, Australia is especially exposed to both economic and security risks associated with geoeconomics. How can Australia adapt its policy settings for the era of geoeconomic competition?

The ANU National Security College is pleased to collaborate with the Perth USAsia Centre for the national launch of Adapting Australia to an Era of Geoeconomic Competition. Authored by Dr Jeffrey Wilson, this policy report explores the origin of the geoeconomic contests, analyses the domains in which Australia is exposed to new security risks, and considers how Australia can adapt its foreign policy settings to manage the geoeconomic environment of the 21st century.

This event will feature a launch of the report and a discussion of its findings with Dr Jeffrey Wilson and ANU Professor Anthea Roberts. This will be followed by Q&A with the audience and an introduction to the growing agenda of ANU research in this field.
