Please note: this event has passed
One year ago, Russia launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, initiating a war as savage and destructive as it has been senseless. To mark the war’s first anniversary, the Centre for Grand Strategy invited an extraordinary community of scholars to reflect upon the year that has passed, to consider both change and continuity, and to provide insights from their own disciplinary perspectives on the likely implications for ‘world order’. We asked contributors to consider three questions:
- What has changed during the past twelve months?
- What did not change, or changed less than expected?
- What kinds of future trends seem likely?
We are pleased to present a volume of seventeen reports that draws on the diverse expertise of the School of Security Studies and beyond—from professors to PhD students, former practitioners, research staff, alumni, and friends—and covers themes from national security policies and strategy to regional and international dynamics situated in their historical and strategic contexts; from the complexity of strategic challenges governments face in the short, medium and long term, to the broader implications for geopolitics, statecraft, and world order in the years to come.
On Tuesday 7th March we will be joined by some of the authors who contributed to this report for a panel discussion and a Q&A session giving you the chance to ask the experts any questions you may have. Following this we will have a drinks reception which we welcome you all to attend.
