As we approach the third year of the war in Ukraine, the ripples from the conflict go deeper and further into the fabric of international relations. Today’s seminar brings together three scholars from Japan to analyze the war’s impact and meaning outside Eastern Europe. Their expertise includes Russia and other world areas, including the Middle East and Northeast Asia. Issues to be addressed include Japan’s policies, historical contexts, borderlands, energy security, and China’s perspective on the war.

Refreshments will be provided.
