In this book, scholars from political science, economics, philosophy, history, and geopolitics offer critical insights into the conflict in Ukraine and the way it is changing the world order. These international experts explore the nature of the Russian regime; its stance toward the West; insights into the strategic, moral, and legal aspects of the conflict; and an appraisal of Western responses in terms of military aid to Ukraine, power competition, and value-driven alliances. The war in Ukraine is often seen as the final nail in the coffin of the post–Cold War order of Liberal convergence, and the opening of a new multipolar reality. This project offers a multifaceted view of the conflict and its consequences and will be of great interest to IR scholars, specialists of Russian politics and geopolitics.
