Are we getting hysterical about geo-politics in the Pacific?

27 November 2018

Should we be worried about geo-politics in our region, or are we all getting unnecessarily hysterical?

The Lowy Institute in Australia and New Zealand’s Council for International Development (CID) will host a talk, and the New Zealand launch of Lowy's Pacific Aid Map tonight in Wellington.

Jonathan Pryke, Director of the Pacific Islands Program at the Lowy Institute will talk about what's going on in the Pacific, and give a hot-off-the-press report after attending APEC in Papua New Guinea. He will examine Australia and New Zealand's increased funding for the Pacific, and how aid investments are being affected by geopolitical struggles.

The Pacific Aid Map is an analytical tool designed to improve aid effectiveness in the Pacific by shining a light on who is contributing what funds, and where the money is going.
