Ukraine, China, and better ways Australia can manage international relations

Friday, 8 April 2022 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jennifer and Jacques revisit the conflict in Ukraine, and some of the things that have led to it, including the roles of the US and NATO.

They look at US policy relating to Russia and China, and question why we are following the (US) leader rather than investing in multilateral, cooperative arrangements between nations.
