SUMMARY:Roberta Buffett Visiting Professor Lecture | Wishful Thinking: How the West Got Moscow So Wrong\, For So Long
UID:633699@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:For too long\, the West's policies toward Ukraine and other states in the former USSR took a back seat to a bigger priority: encouraging Moscow to give up its expansionist ways by integrating Russia into Western institutions. The thinking was that a Russia knit into trade and political networks with the West would become a peaceful\, non-aggressive Russia.   Up until fairly recently\, policy makers thought such a transformation was possible. Even after Putin’s invasion of Georgia in 2008 and annexation of Crimea in 2014\, many in the West\, particularly in Western Europe\, returned to business as usual with Russia. It wasn’t until Putin's full invasion of Ukraine in 2022 that many in the West genuinely woke up to the reality of Putin's regime and realized that continuing to conduct business as usual with Moscow didn’t discourage its aggressive tendencies. It encouraged them.  Join us for a talk with Roberta Buffett Visiting Professor of International Studies Ambassador (ret.) Ian C. Kelly on the West's wishful thinking that got Moscow so wrong for so long.  Lunch will be provided starting at 12:15 p.m.  This event is co-sponsored by the Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences' International Studies Program.  Please note that 720 University Place is not an ADA-accessible space. Increasing physical access to buildings and facilities is a goal of the University\, but not all buildings and venues have been updated.\n\nWebcast Link: https://northwestern.zoom.us/webinar/register/9417615890403/WN_H4homg1eS3ezr0d48Dm43A\n\nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/buffett-visiting-professor-lecture-how-the-west-got-moscow-so-wrong-tickets-1849316077169?aff=PlanItPurple
