A round table with Maria Lipman, political scientist, Editor-in-Chief of Counterpoint journal, published by the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies, George Washington University and Nikolay Petrov, professor of political science at the Higher School of Economics, Moscow.
The presidential elections of March 2018 should enshrine V. Putin's hold on power for a fourth mandate. However, if the concluding one was dominated by the return of the Russian power on the international stage, the next one could well be marked by tensions linked to V. Putin's probable succession in 2024. Foreign policy, which was at the center of his renewed popularity, will remain a mainstay of Russian strategy, but a period of political uncertainty looms on the horizon for the Kremlin, driven by an exacerbation of the struggle for power among the elites in a difficult economic and social environment.

Paris Naval Conference 2025: Naval Power and the Challenges of Securing Maritime Autonomy
Playing a crucial role in the global economy, the maritime economy, which includes maritime transport, fishing, the extraction of underwater resources, the leisure and tourism sectors and, increasingly, marine renewable energies, is particularly exposed to the deterioration of international relations when it is expressed primarily in common spaces. As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
