Episode description

Professor Joseph Camilleri is one of Australia's leading International Relations scholars, publishing over 15 books and contributing hundreds of chapters and refereed articles in academic journals.

  • Why China wants Taiwan back (and what will happen)
  • Why Australians are unaware of international politics
  • The influence of UK and USA Anglo-centric culture
  • The failure of the Academy to educate Australians
  • The failure of Australian politics
  • The Doomsday Clock
  • The spectre of nuclear war
  • Human rights in lockdowns
  • Balancing the rights of the individual against the rights of the collective
  • Chinese society as a cultural role model
  • The values of competing societies
