The promises of global peace and prosperity that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union have failed to come to fruition in the way that many in the West had imagined.

Now, President Donald Trump is swinging a wrecking ball at the alliances, values and institutions that underpin Western power, while countries like Russia, China, Iran, India and Brazil forge powerful new partnerships.

If the sun is really setting on the West, what does that mean for countries like Australia? Is it a moment of opportunity or something else? Join hosts Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald for this Global Roaming live event, as they discuss who the winners and losers will be in this fast-changing world with guests Philippe Sands, Bec Strating and Edward Wong.
