We also cover what Russia’s military struggles mean for Russia’s standing on the world stage and how the conflict impacts Chinese interests.

Emergency Podcast: War in Ukraine
Watching Russian troops invade Ukraine prompted us to record an emergency podcast episode on the recent developments of this crisis that is now a war. In addition to reflecting on these events, we discuss the tools available to Western countries to support Ukraine and punish Russia. We also go into depth about the role of sanctions in this conflict, including explaining the types of sanctions imposed on Russia and further measures under consideration. While sanctions do not have a good track record of foreign policy change, they are more than symbolic tools.

Is the World Standing with Ukraine?
As the war in Ukraine approaches its fourth week, we remain inspired by the courage and sacrifice of the Ukrainian people as they fight for their families, their country, and the right to self-determination.
In this episode we take a step back from the day-to-day events to focus on the strategic decisions that are reshaping the economic and political world in profound ways over the last month. First, we look back and consider the origins of the crisis and ask our first guest on the podcast, Prof. Shahin Berenji from Southern Methodist University, how much weight should be given to realist criticism from prominent international relations scholars, like John Mersheimer, that NATO expansionism is the root cause of the conflict? Does Russia have legitimate security concerns by having NATO members on its borders?
Next, we discuss the greater implications of the unprecedented sanction regime imposed by the West, namely its growing impact on the global economy, the vulnerability of the developing world to these impacts, and the likely lessons being taken away by adversarial regimes. Finally, we wrap up by exploring how unified the world really is in its opposition to Russia’s war.
