Title: Global forces 2007
Description: The third annual ASPI Global Forces International Conference was held in Canberra on 5-6 July 2007. Its focus was on some of the bigger strategic issues shaping Australia's future and, principally, the emergence of such trends such as: challenges to the order and international norms that have underpinned behaviours over the past fifty years; global phenomena such as the rise of fundamentalist movements and potential security impacts of climate change; shifting power dynamics, globally, regionally and particularly in East Asia; questions surrounding social, economic and environmental sustainability, particularly in Australia, in our neighbourhood, and in the South West Pacific; and finally, the responses to these trends within the prevailing world order.
