How do we approach the security challenges of 2025? | SISF 2024

Amid a full agenda for allies and partners that includes implementing AUKUS to bolstering the Quad, what are the top security challenges in 2025? Are alliances fit for purpose or do they need to evolve?
We brought together experts to discuss the future of multilateral cooperation, emerging security risks, and the strategies needed to maintain stability.
The panel:
Nobukatsu Kanehara, Former Japanese Assistant Chief Cabinet Secretary
Heino Klinck, Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for East Asia
Mara Karlin, Former US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy, Plans and Capabilities
Peter Dean, Director of Foreign Policy and Defence, United States Studies Centre
Moderated by: Michael Green, Chief Executive Officer, United States Studies Centre
About the Forum:
Two weeks after the US elected its next president, the United States Studies Centre hosted its flagship conference, the Sydney International Strategy Forum - bringing together key national security strategists from the Biden-Harris and Trump-Pence administrations, along with other experts and senior policymakers from the United States, Australia, Japan, Korea and elsewhere - to assess the election outcome and its impact on the world.
The Sydney International Strategy Forum provided a deep dive into how the new Trump administration will address challenges such as China’s rising influence, regional security architecture, and economic integration in the Indo-Pacific. In exploring the administration's multilateral and alliance strategies, particularly in the context of emerging threats and strategic competition in the region, the event provided unrivalled insight into the next steps on AUKUS and defence cooperation, US trade policy and the decoupling debate.
