Andrew Phillips

Andrew Phillips, a Professor at the University of Queensland and author of several influential books, discusses the decline of the liberal international order. He highlights the rise in global conflict and power rivalries, arguing that democracy is on the retreat. Phillips evaluates the roles of authoritarian powers like China and Russia, as well as the impact of U.S. policies under Trump. He predicts that the 1990s model won’t be revived and explores potential futures for international relations, including a Chinese-centric order or a pluralistic approach driven by emerging democracies.
