Asia-Pacific Hypothetical: Confronting a Regional Crisis

Looking for a career in diplomacy, or to represent your country at the UN?

Want to hone your negotiating and crisis management skills?

Hosted by the AIIA WA Young Professionals Network, Curtin International Relations Society and Young Australians in International Affairs in partnership with the ANU Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, the hypothetical will give students and young professionals a taste of what it takes to tackle a regional crisis. Participants will be divided into five different government agencies which will respond to the hypothetical crisis as it unfolds over five 'days'. The groups will then present their recommendations to a 'National Security Council' to develop an official response on behalf of the Australian Government.

Dr Jeremy Youde from the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs will lead this workshop. 

Dr Jeremy Youde is Senior Lecturer and Fellow in the Department of International Relations in the College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University. He also serves as the Deputy Director (Education) for the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs. He joined the ANU in January 2016 and previously held appointments at colleges and universities in Minnesota, Iowa, and California. He is also a founding member, past treasurer, and current chair of the Global Health Section of the International Studies Association. His research focuses on the politics of global health and how the international community responds to infectious disease outbreaks.

This is a free event but places are limited.
