The International Risk Podcast – Reducing risk by increasing knowledge

Nicaragua's elections held on November 7 rung alarm bells for political analysts that focus on Central America, as Ortega's hyperbolic electoral win pointed to his continued encroachment on democratic freedoms and institutions in the country. To dissect the implications of these elections we are joined by Tiziano Breda, Central America Analyst for the International Crisis Group. He conducts extensive field research, provides analysis, and proposes policy initiatives to relevant governmental, international and non-governmental actors to address key issues linked to violent crime, migration and political instability in the Central American region. Tiziano joined Crisis Group in April 2017, first as an intern and then as EU Advocacy & Research Assistant in the Bogotá office. He previously wrote for different online magazines, mainly regarding European and Latin American affairs.

The International Risk Podcast – Reducing risk by increasing knowledge

Russo-Ukrainian geopolitical tensions have been monopolizing news headlines as reports point to an imminent invasion reminiscent of the 2014 occupation of Crimea. However, there's a lot more than what originally meets the eye, in terms of the economic, risk, ideological and diplomatic implications of recent developments. To untangle the complexities of the situation, we are joined by Taras Kuzio, who is an Associate Research Fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and Professor in the Department of Political Science at the National University of Kyiv Mohlya Academy. He is a prolific author having published over 22 books and 130 scholarly articles, including "Putin's War Against Ukraine: Revolution, Nationalism, and Crime" and his most recent publication "Russian Nationalism and the Russian-Ukrainian War". He has made numerous media appearances due to his expertise on Eastern European affairs.
