Description

The world order that we’ve lived with for most of our lives is experiencing a tectonic shift. We’ve experienced unprecedented levels of growth and prosperity – but as a growing cohort of demagogues and autocrats continue to lead our world, there is something quite telling in how populations are responding to our levels of success. 

Is our world order functioning the way it was set up to? And how do we decide who best represents our decisions and values? 

Avani Dias is a reporter with Four Corners and was the ABC’s South Asia correspondent in India for the past two-and-a-half years. 

Cheng Lei is a bilingual and bicultural TV journalist who worked in Shanghai, Singapore and Beijing for 18 years for CNBC and China’s state TV English channel.

Hamish Macdonald is an award-winning journalist who has covered wars, disasters, and major world events. 

Professor Weaver is the founding Director of the Tech Policy Design Centre at the Australian National University. 

Chaired by journalist Matt Bevan.
