The Challenge of Eurasia and Multipolarity to American Hegemony

The Challenge of Eurasia and Multipolarity to American Hegemony - Dr Tim Beal

The United States is fighting a proxy war in western Eurasia – Europe – and soon may be at war with China in the east. The prize is a continuation of American hegemony or its replacement by multipolarity. This talk examines Anglo-American thinking about Eurasia since Mackinder and how this illuminates the current situation. It will also discuss some questions this raises for New Zealand going forward.

Some background for the talk may be found in this article by Tim Beal published in John Menadue's Australian website 'Pearls and Irritations' https://johnmenadue.com/the-ukraine-war-lessons-for-australia-and-the-asia-pacific/,

Dr Tim Beal: Author, Researcher, Educator; Asia specialist Tim Beal is a retired NZ academic who has written extensively on Asia, with a focus on Northeast Asia. He also has an interest in imperialism, again mainly in respect of Asia but recently, also inevitably encompassing Europe
