Venue: Seminar Room, Australia India Institute, The University of Melbourne
Presenters: Professor Nick Bisley
Historically, great powers have played a distinctive role in the production and management of international order. In return for special privileges and rights they have responsibility to manage order and ensure the stability of the system over the longer run. This is the underlying logic of the special role grant to the permanent members of the UN Security Council. One of the features of the current period is that the order established in the ashes of WWII is beginning to fray. There are many reasons for this, however, one of the most interesting features of the current period are the number of very significant states who have global ambitions, are growing rapidly but which are, even under optimistic forecasts, likely to remain in per capita terms relatively less well off members of international society.
This talk will explore the implications of the somewhat contradictory notion of ‘poor great powers’ and what kind of impact this phenomenon is having on the evolution of international order. The talk will focus on India as a case in point, however, it is by no means the only example of this trend.
Lunch is provided and therefore registration is essential for all guests
