2015/16 IPS-Nathan Lecture Series: Lecture I by Mr Bilahari Kausikan

Dealing with an Ambiguous Word - An Age without Definition The first lecture will examine the factors making for greater uncertainty in the contemporary international system, arguing that the post-Cold War international system lacks structure and hence leadership, leaving many urgent international issues neglected or dealt with only sub-optimally and the global environment more complex. It will thereby try to show how the subjects of subsequent lectures fit into this overall framework. 00:55 mins - Opening Remarks: Mr Janadas Devan, Director IPS 05:31 mins - Speaker: Mr Bilahari Kausikan, 2015/16 IPS Nathan Fellow 58:30 mins - Q&A chaired by Mr Janadas Devan, Director IPS Date: 29 January 2016 Time: 6.00 pm - 7.30pm Venue: Guild Hall, NUSS Kent Ridge Guild House
