  • 2015/16 IPS-Nathan Lecture Series: Lecture II by Mr Bilahari Kausikan
    US-China Relations
    This lecture gives an overview of US-China relations, which have set the tone for how East Asia has conducted its international relations. The US-China relationship has been among the most complex of the post-Cold War adjustments underway. The lecture will examine the basic factors that define the parameters of the adjustments and in this context also examine the roles of Japan, Russia and India. It will also examine the South China Sea issue as a proxy for US-China adjustments.

  • 2015/16 IPS-Nathan Lecture Series: Lecture I by Mr Bilahari Kausikan
    Dealing with an Ambiguous Word - An Age without Definition
    The first lecture will examine the factors making for greater uncertainty in the contemporary international system, arguing that the post-Cold War international system lacks structure and hence leadership, leaving many urgent international issues neglected or dealt with only sub-optimally and the global environment more complex. It will thereby try to show how the subjects of subsequent lectures fit into this overall framework.
