Fear and Greed? Australia–China Relations
Australia has benefited enormously from the economic transformation of China. But it is also deeply concerned about the broader consequences of China's return as a great power. Do fear and greed drive Australia's relations with China? What forces should shape this most important relationship and how is it likely to evolve in the coming years?
This joint initiative between La Trobe University Ideas and Society and La Trobe Asia sees a distinguished panel of experts dissect the dynamics and future of Sino-Australian relations.
The panel is chaired by Professor Nick Bisley, executive director of La Trobe Asia, and features Bob Carr, Linda Jakobson, Dr John Lee and Geoff Raby.
Bob Carr was Australia’s foreign minister from March 2012 to September 2013. He is now the director of the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney. Linda Jakobson is a visiting professor at the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney and the founding director of the public policy initiative China Matters. Dr John Lee is an adjunct associate professor at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University. Geoff Raby was Australia’s ambassador to China from 2007 to 2011.
