#221: Domestic Violence in Indonesia

<description>&lt;p&gt;In 2021 a new alliance between the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom was announced. Dubbed the AUKUS agreement, the centrepiece of the plan was for the United States to build Australia new nuclear submarines, to replace its aging fleet. Now almost three years later, the plan has evolved, and with it, inevitably has the budget expectations and the criticisms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Guest: Professor Peter Dean (Director of Foreign Policy and Defence, United States Studies Centre, University of Sydney)&lt;/p&gt;

#220: Is AUKUS a Good Deal for Australia?

<description>&lt;p&gt;Oceans are an important resource for every country and are essential for travel and trade, but there are several critical issues facing maritime order in Asia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A lack of a shared vision, differing interpretations of maritime order, and cooperation over security issues all create friction for use of shared waterways across Asia, which makes fair and equitable access vital. How can Asian states and allies strengthen dialogue, interactions, and coordination to maximise the impact of their efforts in upholding regional and maritime order?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Speakers:
&lt;br /&gt;- Professor Bec Strating (Director, La Trobe Asia)
&lt;br /&gt;- Professor Alessio Patalano (Department of War Studies, Kings College London)
&lt;br /&gt;- Professor Kyoko Hatakeyama (Graduate School of International Studies and Regional Development, University of Niigata Prefecture)
&lt;br /&gt;- Professor Nick Bisley (Chair) (Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University)
&lt;br /&gt;- With an introduction from La Trobe University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Theo Farrell.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The launch of Issue 10 of the La Trobe Asia Brief.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Event recorded on 11th April, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This public panel will present research from a collaborative project between La Trobe Asia, Kyushu University and King’s College London.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Indonesia has had a national election, and the likely next president is Prabowo Subianto, a leader with a checkered past. Prabowo served as Jokowi’s defense minister and gained his backing for this election, even naming Jokowi’s son as his VP running mate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Given his background, there are many who are carefully watching the decisions he will make in foreign affairs.&lt;/p&gt;
