Vladimir Putin’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine has been widely interpreted as launching a new era of global great power rivalry. It definitively ends the ‘post-Cold War world’, in which geopolitical debate focused on a supposed unipolar moment or multilateral global governance.

In the face of Putin’s invasion, Europe and the US have shown remarkable unity. However Brexit and the Trump episode demonstrate the fragility of the Western alliance. The invasion has meanwhile raised uncertainty about China’s commitment to Russia. Previously, these two powers had increasingly appeared to coalesce into the anti-Western pole of a new global bipolar Cold War. At this roundtable event, leading experts will discuss the relationships among the great powers and how the invasion has impacted on them.

Drinks will be served following the discussion.
