The South Pacific Shatterbelt: Geopolitical Scenarios, Risks

The South Pacific has become a strategic threatre shaped by intensifying great power rivalry. In this talk, Dr. Reuben Steff draws on his expertise in geopolitics and strategic competition to examine China’s expansionist infrastructure push and civil-military fusion, both part of a broader revisionist agenda. These moves have triggered responses from New Zealand, Australia, and the United States, pushing the region toward shatterbelt dynamics.

Dr. Steff will outline the regional geostrategic landscape and use scenario analysis to highlight key risks—and emerging opportunities—that businesses must understand.
