The global economic landscape is being rewritten. The actions of President Trump and successive US presidents have upended the traditional ideals of an interconnected and globalised system in favour of protectionism and punitive economic policies. In a time of global uncertainty and unprecedented risk, collaboration among like-minded partners is of vital importance.

Countries like Australia and Japan rely on an open global trading system and rules-based order. However, US tariffs, China's trade coercion and market dominance, and other economic security challenges are putting pressure on Australia and Japan's public and private sectors. Within this context, Australia and Japan face key questions:

  • What will the future of the global economic order look like?
  • What roles will supply chains in Southeast Asia play?
  • How is geopolitical conflict impacting the private sector?
  • And how can Australia and Japan shape the future towards our interests?

Join us for an in-depth panel discussion hosted by the United States Studies Centre, where leading experts will explore how Australia and Japan can navigate and shape the evolving global economic order.
