A luncheon-debate with Bobo LO, Associate Research Fellow with the Russia/NIS Center at Ifri
The Russian annexation of Crimea was an important geopolitical turning point. It led to sanctions against Russia, and raised questions about the future design of cooperation. A Russia able to redefine itself as a modern power would exert a critical influence on many issues. But a Russia that rests on an outdated sense of entitlement may end up instead as one of the principal casualties of global transformation. Why is Russia still so important for international stability, crisis management, and global issues?
