Understanding China - A New Era of Risk - David Morris
In the first presentation of a new Manning Clark House series – “Understanding China”
– David Morris will speak about his recently published book “A New Era of Risk: Why We
Need a New, Sustainable Internationalism to Manage the Rise of China”, in which he
argues that binary geopolitical and geoeconomic thinking is catastrophising risks and
simultaneously failing to develop adequate responses to the complexity of the emerging
disruptions.
“In a disorderly and fractured world, David Morris’s review of China’s international
connections offers sensible and measured advice. It deserves to be read by all who are
concerned about the future of the global trading system, climate change and the
prevention of nuclear war”.
David Morris has had an international career as diplomat, adviser to governments, businesses
and the United Nations, and is a senior executive of the Australia China Business Council. He
represented the Pacific Islands Forum in China.
