The US Election: What Now ?
On 5 November, the United States will hold a general election. Apart from a new President, the election will also determine which party controls the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Australian Institute of International Affairs of WA, in collaboration with the Forrest Research Foundation, is hosting an event on Tuesday 19 November to discuss the potentials impacts of the elections on Australia and the Indo-Pacific Region.
Our distinguished lead speaker will be Professor Gordon Flake, Chief Executive Officer of the Perth USAsia Centre at The University of Western Australia. He will provide his initial analysis - two weeks after elections - of the results and their significance for our region. This will be followed by an interactive discussion, with questions from the audience, moderated by AIIA WA Vice President, Professor Samina Yasmeen.
This event is likely to be popular, so please secure your tickets as soon as possible to not miss out.
Doors open at 6pm for a 6:30pm event start.

The Australian Institute of International Affairs for WA
The Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA) is an independent, non-profit organisation seeking to promote interest in and understanding of international affairs in Australia.
The WA Branch of the AIIA was founded in 1947 by Professor Fred Alexander of the University of WA, who became its first President. Like the earlier established branches in the other Australian states, the WA Branch was modelled on the British Royal Institute of International Affairs, based at Chatham House in London.
The WA Branch has maintained a steady membership, including many prominent West Australian and national leaders. Successive State Governors have served as the Branch's Official Visitor. The aim of the institute is to be an independent and non-political body that facilitates and encourages the study and debate of international questions.
Membership fees includes a subscription to The Australian Journal of International Affairs as well as two tickets at the member price to each of our our monthly meetings where you will learn about developments in international affairs of concern to the people of Western Australia. We rely on membership contributions and sponsorship of special events to keep our association running: we receive no core funding from government.
