Canada Ignores the South China Sea At Its Peril
Manage episode 515187452 series 3697217
How should Canada increase its engagement in the Indo-Pacific region?
The South China Sea has become a global flashpoint for economic and military tensions. Despite Canada itself being a Pacific nation, our regional engagement and relations with regional partners remain limited. Jonathan Berkshire Miller and Stephen Nagy joined the Expert Series to discuss the challenging context Canada now faces in developing its Indo-Pacific posture.
Of the challenges presented, Berkshire Miller focuses on the current geopolitical dynamics of the South China Sea. He outlines ways in which Canada has so far worked to uphold the rule of law within it through support for smaller regional powers. Nagy focuses on the implications of changing Canada-U.S. and U.S.-China relations for regional events, and the need for Canada to divest economically from the U.S. to preserve autonomy in its own engagement within the region.
