Tuesday 7 October 2014, 6.30 - 8.00pm, Sheikh Zayed Theatre, NAB
Speaker: Professor Barry Buzan; Discussant: Professor Arne Westad; Chair: Professor Michael Cox
Despite the widespread view that China does not have a coherent grand strategy, China has already articulated one that is based on the home-grown idea of ‘peaceful rise/development’ (PRD). The key issue is whether the logic of this grand strategy, and the contradictions within it, are fully understood, and whether China has sufficient depth and coherence in its policy-making processes to implement such a strategy. This lecture will explore key issues arising from the idea of ‘Peaceful Rise/Development’.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket or pre-registration required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. For more information please email us here.
