Video of Krasno Global Event Series Gareth Evans (fmr. Minister for Foreign Affairs of Australia) with Prof. Klaus Larres - “Navigating between the Giants in a World Under Stress: Dealing with the US, China & Russia in the Indo-Pacific, Ukraine and elsewhere"

 

A quite interesting conversation with one of the great personages of the ancien regime.  I suppose that "dealing with" is the appropriate signifier here, though not without a bit of irony.

The Krasno Global Event Series welcomes The Hon. Prof. Gareth Evans (fmr. Minister for Foreign Affairs of Australia) in discussion with Prof. Klaus Larres - “Navigating between the Giants in a World Under Stress. Dealing with the US, China & Russia in the Indo-Pacific, Ukraine and elsewhere" Gareth Evans was a Cabinet Minister throughout the Hawke and Keating Australian Labor Party Governments from 1983-96, including as Foreign Minister from 1988-96, where he played central roles in the Cambodian peace process, the creation of APEC and the ASEAN Regional Forum, and in bringing to conclusion the Chemical Weapon Convention. After leaving politics he was President of the Brussels-based International Crisis Group from 2000-09, and Chancellor of the Australian National University from 2010-19, where he is now Distinguished Hon. Professor. He co-chaired the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (2001), which initiated the ‘responsibility to protect’ concept, and the Australia-Japan International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (2009), and has written or edited fourteen books, including Good International Citizenship: The Case for Decency (2022), Incorrigible Optimist: A Political Memoir (2017), The Responsibility to Protect: Ending Mass Atrocity Crimes Once and for All (2008) & Cooperating for Peace (1993).
