National interest and values are often invoked by governments and commentators to support a particular course of action in foreign policy. But who determines what is in Australia's national interest and who defines Australian values? What are the underlying tensions between the two concepts? And given the current trajectory of US-China relations is it possible to have a values-based foreign policy in an era of great power competition?
AIIA China Matters Fellow Ms Yun Jiang's talk will focus on the concept of values in foreign policy, including whether we can live up to the values of a rules-based order.
