Are top universities ready to face international competition?

At the University of Virginia’s historic Rotunda, Malcolm Turnbull, former Prime Minister of Australia and Chair of CAPRI International Advisory Council, and Lucy Turnbull, former Lord Mayor of Sydney, discussed democratic resilience and effective leadership from the local to the global level.

CAPRI’s second public forum featured Dr. Richard Bush, nonresident senior fellow at Brookings, focusing on themes in his recent book Difficult Choices: Taiwan’s Quest for Security and the Good Life and the challenges Taiwan faces in balancing competing priorities when formulating policy. Dr. Bush was joined by Alicia García Herreo, Enoch Wu, and Jiunn-rong Yeh to discuss how to build a resilient future of Taiwan.

In this public forum moderated by Syaru Shirley Lin of the Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation and the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs, the Pottingers reflect on successes and failures in responding to COVID-19 and ongoing efforts to understand the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in order to build resilient healthcare systems and improve governance for future crises.
