 is
DESCRIPTION:Australia has been facing an unprecedented disruption in the co

 ses the question: how should Australia act on trade\, foreign policy and s
 ecurity?\n\nJoin Dr Emma Shortis\, Director of International &amp\; Securi
 ty Affairs and author of After America: Australia and the new world order\
 , the first in Australia Institute Press’ seasonal essay series\, Vantag
 e Point. She will be in conversation with Dr Richard Denniss\, Executive D

 S:\n\nDr Emma Shortis – Director of International &amp\; Security Affair
 s\, The Australia Institute\n\nDr Richard Denniss – Executive Director\
 , The Australia Institute\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK:\n\nAfter America: Australia
  and the new world order | Vantage Point Issue 1\n\n“Through the turbule
 nce of recent times\, Emma Shortis has seen clearly and been right.” –
  Don Watson\n\n“Emma Shortis is especially well-placed to describe the c
 onsequences for Australia of the restoration of Donald Trump.” – Nick 
 Bryant\n\nIs Australia's Security at risk in today's unstable world? What 
 does a second Trump Presidency means for our future?\n\nA Trump presidency
  is presenting unprecedented challenges in trade\, foreign relations and d
 efence policy. US expert\, Dr Emma Shortis\, explores what it means for Au
 stralia and what next steps governments can take to ensure safety\, securi
 ty and prosperity locally.\n\nAustralian political leaders have bent the k
 nee at the altar of American global leadership for decades\, placing the A
 NZUS treaty at the centre of the nation’s security. AUKUS has become the
  latest symbol of strategic solidarity. For Australia’s governments\, of
  whatever political persuasion\, America continues to define the global ru
 les-based order.\n\nNow that the American people have elected Donald Trump
  as the forty-seventh president\, how will his presidency affect Australia
 's foreign policy\, trade\, climate action and approach to human rights? M
 ore importantly\, will Australia be able to act in its own interests\, or 
 will it simply defer to Trump’s idea of America?\n\nDr Emma Shortis draw
 s on her long-standing research on America's place in the world\, her disc
 ussions with some of Australia's most prominent policy-makers and commenta
 tors and her experience in America in the final days of the election campa
 ign\, to develop a picture of how the world is changing with a second Trum
 p presidency and what choices Australia has in determining its own future.
