Our relationship with the South Pacific is deeply rooted, and we have strongly supported the Asia Pacific regional order for the past 30 years, but with increasing interest from the US and China, will New Zealand continue to have a significant influence? What is the future of Taiwan? What is the role of India? Is it the revival of the Great Powers or not?

These are some of the pressing geopolitical challenges present in our neighbourhood. Is New Zealand doing enough for our own security or that of our neighbours?

With New Zealand’s top experts, including Sir Don McKinnon, Rosemary Banks, Prof Robert Patman, Suzannah Jessep, Dr Alan Bollard and more, these forums are not to be missed!

Join us for the unique Aspen experience, where our moderators challenge our expert panellists’ differing points of view, presenting diverse perspectives and allowing for freedom of expression in a civil environment. The audience is not merely there to watch but to participate and meet with the experts. Based on the Institute’s four principles, this formula provides trust-worthy content attributed to knowledge, fact and broad perspectives that enrich one’s understanding of the topic.

With limited spaces available, we recommend registering early.
