In this piece for the Institute for Indo-Pacific Affairs, Iain Rommel and I argue that the strength of America’s democratic institutions, and their design, may very well be challenged in the next four years during a Trump 2.0 Presidency. @indopac_nz

1/2 In this piece for Kwentuhan, Prof. Robert S. Ross argues that changes in capabilities on both China and the US have led to the altering of the regional balance of power in East Asia.

In this episode of Views from Down Underer, we examine the seeming US obsession around the idea of a "Peak China" and the idea of being Number 1. Enjoy listening!

@JohnPearson68 @UCNZ @asianewzealand Thank you @JohnPearson68 for flying down and for your most insightful contribution at the conference!

Balance is achieved by providing a platform where diverse perspectives, particularly those regional voices relegated to the margins due to the dominant narrative of great power rivalry, can be debated and discussed.

[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

@DrJoeBurton The issue is balance. In our part of the world, “Indo-Pacific” is now associated with China-exclusion - which clearly was the case at this event.

[Asia New Zealand Foundation Te Whītau Tūhono @asianewzealand]

Our CEO Suzannah Jessep moderated a panel today on ‘Middle Powers and the Indo-Pacific’ featuring these visiting Professors. This was a great opportunity to have a dynamic discussion on the topic and to connect with other experts in the region.

[Institute for Indo-Pacific Affairs @indopac_nz]

As India began to show more obvious signs of democratic backsliding, the Modi Government has tried very hard to sweep issues under the rug. This can potentially harm the future of democracy in India, argues @NeelVanvari in this Kwentuhan piece. https://t.co/wx4Q2bB7zE

[Neel Vanvari @NeelVanvari]

In my latest piece for @indopac_nz, I argue that democracy in India is going through a phase of ‘window-dressing’ wherein informal norms underpinning the functioning of those principles of democracy have been gradually eroded since 2014.
