USSC Live

On 19 and 20 June 2024, the United States Studies Centre hosted a major international conference in Sydney spotlighting the search for “economic security in a turbulent world”. Over a day and a half, the conference brought together leading policymakers, business executives and independent experts from around the world to discuss arguably the defining economic policy debate of our age – how to reconcile security and prosperity in an era of strategic competition and economic interdependence.

In session 1, Alan Beattie, Senior Trade Writer for the Financial Times delivered a keynote address. This was followed by a panel discussion moderated by Dr Michael Green, Chief Executive Officer of the United States Studies Centre, and featuring Ziad Haider, Global Director of Geopolitical Risk, McKinsey & Company; Emily Kilcrease, Senior Fellow and Director of the Energy, Economics and Security Program, Center for a New American Security; and Alan Beattie, Senior Trade Writer, Financial Times.
