Fragile Democracy

from UNSW Centre for Ideas Hosted by UNSW Centre for Ideas

Australia has been a close ally of the United States since 1940, but what does this mean for contemporary politics when democracy is more fragile than ever? Chaired by Festival favourite Barrie Cassidy, one of Australia’s most experienced political correspondents and analysts, this expert panel features former BBC foreign correspondent Nick Bryant (The Forever War: America’s Unending Conflict With Itself), UNSW Sydney Professor of Law and constitutional democracy specialist Rosalind Dixon and Senior Fellow of the University of Sydney’s United States Studies Centre Bruce Wolpe (Trump’s Australia: How Trumpism changed Australia and the shocking consequences for us of a second term). Unpack the far-reaching ramifications of this relationship across trade, security, foreign policy and beyond. This event is presented by the Sydney Writers' Festival and supported by UNSW Sydney.
