In this episode, we unpack how shifting US relations could reshape the balance of power across the Indo-Pacific — and what it means for middle powers navigating this new landscape. This conversation features insights from Gareth Evans, Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs (1988–1996); Distinguished Honorary Professor at the Australian National University (ANU).

In the seventh episode, "Australia and Indonesia in a Changing World Order" with Susannah Patton from Lowy Institute. What has changed and what has remained in the emerging world order? What does it mean for the Indo-Pacific region, particularly for middle powers such as Indonesia and Australia? How are Southeast Asian countries recalibrating their partnerships?

In the sixth episode of Eyes on Middle Powers, “Foreign Policy Choices in a Changing World Order” with Prof. Gordon Flake from Perth USAsia Centre. Where is the world heading, and what should we expect? In what ways can middle powers step up? Will UN reform continue to remain a promise of “tomorrow”? And how does Australia, as a Western ally, navigate its relationship with the United States?
