Fresh thinking about risks in the new world order @AIIAvision

Uploaded August 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

David Morris's new book offers fresh thinking and a practical, political risk approach to managing the rise of China, as an alternative to the worst-case geopolitical thinking that has taken hold in recent years.

A New Era of Risk: Why we need a new, sustainable internationalism to manage the rise of China grapples with some of the central questions of our time. China is at the centre of a perfect storm of new risks to the global system, international economy and climate. Yet the author argues binary geopolitical and geoeconomic thinking is catastrophizing risks and simultaneously failing to develop adequate responses to the complexity of the disruptions underway. He proposes a new, sustainable internationalism.

"In a disorderly and fractured world, David Morris's review of China's international connections offers sensible and measured advice. It deserves to be read by all who are concerned about the future of the global trading system, climate change and the prevention of nuclear war" – Jocelyn Chey AM, Western Sydney University
