Why did Russia invade Ukraine, how is the war (un)likely to end, and why?

Come hear students of political rhetoric in PSCI 0249 deliver their final, polished orations on matters of moment at Middlebury and beyond. 

The second Trump administration is implementing trade policies that have major impacts on international relations, supply chains, and more. This interdisciplinary symposium brings together leading scholars to assess how these policies are reshaping geopolitics and the global economy.

Speakers

Inu Manak, Fellow for trade policy at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)

Robert Staiger, Loren M. Berry Professor of Economics, Dartmouth College; and Research Associate, National Bureau of Economic Research

As the war in Ukraine enters its fourth year, Ukrainians remain more determined than ever to resist the Russian invasion. The defense of their country is happening beyond the front lines: ordinary people are going to extraordinary lengths to support the military, enrich democracy in their country, learn and practice emergency medicine, and preserve national culture. There is a sophisticated civic resistance that is largely female, tech savvy, decentralized, nonhierarchical, multilingual, and highly innovative. This is the new Ukraine.

Join Assistant Professors Margaret Hanson and Caileigh Glenn as they discuss how their research sheds light on the Russian government’s efforts to sanctions-bust and sanctions-proof in the wake of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. They will contrast how the Russian government has engaged in these tactics and outline the debate over their utility in defying international pressure.

This event is designed for political science and IPE students to get to know our new professors and their work. Light refreshments will be available.

Murray Dry, Charles A. Dana Professor of Political Science
