    Geopolitical Challenges - Indo Pacific

    The 2023 Aspen Summer Series on Geopolitical Challenges kicked off with a deep dive into the power, economic and security challenges in the Indo Pacific. With New Zealand's top experts on the Indo Pacific region, Suzannah Jessep, Nicholas Khoo and Natasha Hamilton-Hart, the forum was skillfully moderated by Alan Bollard. The audience was treated to a dynamic and candid conversation on the complexities and nuances in the region, which is now materially different from the early 2000s, with the rise of China, the emergence of India as a significant power, and the shifting US alliance network. Undisputed was the recognition of the importance of the Indo Pacific to NZ’s future and that NZ’s engagement was lagging. The forum was the first of three in the series, with North Asia and Great Power Rivalry to follow.
