Bridging the Oceans Series Finale with Veerle Nouwens

Bridging the Oceans Series Finale with Veerle Nouwens

Originally published 6 April 2023.

After over two years, the Bridging the Oceans podcast is coming to an end. Bridging the Oceans, hosted by Veerle Nouwens, was the first podcast dedicated specifically to the defence and security of the Indo-Pacific. It explored what the Indo-Pacific is, where its limits lay, and what the fast-evolving defence and security issues were in this dynamic part of the world.

Together with a diverse range of experts, the podcast analysed today's top geopolitical questions in the Indo-Pacific, understanding how these were seen within the region itself, and considered how these issues may impact the wider region including the United Kingdom.
