Goodbye, Mr Abe
Manage episode 313421423 series 3270563
On the fourth instalment of the PaperClip podcast, Mihir Sharma explains why India, Asia and the Indo-Pacific will miss the departing Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe – the man who, in fact, practically invented and defined the concept of “the Indo-Pacific”. No politician of the past few decades in Asia – perhaps in the world -- has so been so influential in changing how strategists, policy makers and militaries imagine our part of the globe. Why was Abe so unusual? What will we miss now that he is leaving? And how was he a holdover from a more optimistic past?
