Text: Wednesday 29 july 2026 8pm - 9:30pm SE04: Asia’s Geopolitics and the Reconstitution of International Order Nick Bisley #ISAVirtual2026 Text: Asia’s Geopolitics and the Reconstitution of International Order Abstract/Description: Asia’s economic rise has brought the region to the centre stage of world politics. Its prosperity was the product of a particular configuration of globalisation and geopolitics; Asia's ability to develop so rapidly rested on a foundation of geopolitical stability that depended on the widespread acceptance of American primacy. The conditions which made the region prosperous and stable have given way and there is now competition both about the future of region’s balance of power as well as the broader institutional setting of Asia’s regional order. It is not just that the US and China have different and irreconcilable visions of their preferred order in Asia, there are also longer run trends that mean this regional contestation is playing out during a period of dramatic economic and political flux globally. This lecture will explore these trends and argue that the contest for the future in Asia has profound implications for the emerging patterns of global order. Keywords: Geopolitics;Asia;Global Governance;Major Powers Text: Nick Bisley Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Professor of International Relations at La Trobe University Nick Bisley is the Australian Member Committee Co‑Chair of the Council on Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific and recently completed eight years as Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences at La Trobe. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of International Affairs, a former President of the Australasian Council of Deans of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, and previously served as Editor‑in‑Chief of the Australian Journal of International Affairs. His research focuses on Asia’s international relations, great‑power politics, and Australian foreign and defence policy, and his forthcoming book Asian Crucible will be published by Bristol University Press. He is the author of several other books and is frequently quoted in major international media outlets such as The Economist, SCMP, CNN, and Time.
