Understanding China

A New Era of Risk
David Morris
Wednesday 16 July at 6.00pm

Manning Clark House, Tasmania Circle, Forrest
In the first presentation of a new Manning Clark House series – “Understanding China” – David Morris will speak about his recently published book “A New Era of Risk: Why We Need a New, Sustainable Internationalism to Manage the Rise of China”, in which he argues that binary geopolitical and geoeconomic thinking is catastrophising risks and
simultaneously failing to develop adequate responses to the complexity of the emerging disruptions.

“In a disorderly and fractured world, David Morris’s review of China’s international connections offers sensible and measured advice. It deserves to be read by all who are concerned about the future of the global trading system, climate change and the prevention of nuclear war”.

David Morris has had an international career as diplomat, adviser to governments, businesses and the United Nations, and is a senior executive of the Australia China Business Council. He represented the Pacific Islands Forum in China at a time of escalating tension between Australia and China, and recently completed a PhD on China risks and managing interdependence. David is a Senior Fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, and a Senior Research Fellow, Beijing Foreign Studies University.

There will be a Q&A session following the presentation, then light refreshments.
