    Fractured Order, Rising Influence: Southeast Asia and China’s Digital Ambitions

    As the global balance of power shifts, Southeast Asia finds itself at the crossroads of economic transformation, technological advancement, and strategic realignments. One key element in this evolving landscape is China’s Digital Silk Road (DSR), a crucial component of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) aimed at positioning China as the global technological superpower. This initiative promises to reshape the global digital order and could trigger a technological and normative rift with far-reaching geopolitical consequences. In this episode, recorded live at PRIO, a panel of regional experts and researchers unpack the findings of a three-year project examining China’s digital technology exports to Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. How are these countries managing the promises and perils of digital infrastructure tied to Beijing’s ambitions? And what does it mean for sovereignty, governance, and global power? From infrastructure and internet governance to normative influence and political risk, the conversation offers a comparative look at how Southeast Asia is responding to China’s rising digital influence. Speakers: Dr. Ilaria Carrozza, PRIODr. Cheng-Chwee Kuik, Universiti Kebangsaan MalaysiaJulio Amador III, Ateneo de Manila UniversityHabib Abiyan Dzakwan, CSIS IndonesiaChair: Nic Marsh, PRIO 🎙️ Tune in for a sharp, regionally grounded discussion on China’s Digital Silk Road and the digital futures of Southeast Asia.

    What Limits Should Be Placed on the Use of AI in Warfare?

    There has been a steep increase in the reliance on AI tools for warfighting. This is unsurprising as AI allows for increased speed on the battlefield, better surveillance, tracking, target identification and validation, as well as more data-driven decision support both for identifying capabilities and for target selection. The increased reliance on AI has fueled a push for more weapons’ autonomy on the battlefield. These changes to the way wars are fought have led to a range of ethical concerns around the use of AI for life-or-death decisions on the battlefield. In this episode, recorded live at PRIO, a panel of experts explores the implications of AI-driven warfare. What does it mean to delegate life-or-death decisions to algorithms? How should states and societies respond to this accelerating trend? Panelists: Eivind Vad Petersson, State Secretary, Norwegian Ministry of Foreign AffairsJovana Davidovic, Senior Researcher, PRIOMitt Regan, Professor of Law, Georgetown University Moderator: Greg Reichberg, PRIO 🎙️ Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of AI, ethics, and modern conflict - and what’s at stake as the line between human and machine decision-making continues to blur.

In this episode, recorded live at PRIO, a panel of leading scholars and practitioners explore how the current crisis in global aid might serve as an opportunity for transformation. Are we witnessing a reformist recalibration or a call to radically rethink the entire system?

Speakers: Erik Abild, NORADØyvind Eggen, ArtikulertGry Ballestad, Norwegian People’s AidOle Jacob Sending, NUPI & Centre for GeopoliticsSimon Reid-Henry, PRIOKristin Bergtora Sandvik, University of Oslo and PRIO Chair: Maria Gabrielsen Jumbert, PRIO 🎙️ Listen now for an unflinching discussion on the ideas, tensions, and actors shaping the future of global aid - and Norway’s place within it.

  8. The Democratic Peace in a Geopolitically Changing World

    2024. 12. 06.

    The Democratic Peace in a Geopolitically Changing World

    In light of the shifting geopolitical landscape, the long-standing theory of democratic peace - asserting that democracies rarely wage war against each other - is facing critical scrutiny. This panel will discuss whether this principle still holds true in an era marked by shifting power dynamics, rising authoritarianism, and the erosion of liberal democratic norms. With conflicts increasingly shaped by hybrid warfare, economic rivalries, and regional instability, the traditional correlation between democracy and peace may be weakening. This discussion will explore whether contemporary democracies are more prone to conflict, or if the theory needs to be redefined for a multipolar world. The panel will also revisit Francis Fukuyama's "End of History" argument, which predicted the triumph of liberal democracy as the final form of human governance. As new global players and political ideologies emerge, panelists will assess whether this notion is still relevant, or if we are witnessing the rise of new patterns of conflict that challenge the foundations of democratic peace. SpeakersMs. Hilde F. Johnson, European Institute of PeaceProf. Carl Henrik Knutsen, University of OsloDr. Marianne Dahl, Peace Research Institute OsloThe discussion will be moderated by Dan Banik, Academic Director of Circle U's democracy hub. This event is part of Oslo Peace Days 2024. Follow this link for full programme. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
