The World at a Crossroads: Consequences and Impact of the Ukraine Crisis

Russia's invasion of Ukraine already points to a profound change in our international order. An effective and internationally coordinated package of sanctions against Russia was quickly imposed, clearly exceeding previous benchmarks. Within days, Germany changed the cornerstones of its foreign and security policy. Leading international powers are supplying weapons to the war zone. The energy security of broad sections of the population appears to be threatened, and everyone is talking about Europe's energy dependence on Russian gas imports. Germany and the European Union are looking for a new role - the war is forcing them into global politics.

What political, economic and social dangers and opportunities does the Ukraine crisis reveal for the international system of the future? Which global processes of change can already be identified and which challenges do we have to prepare for? What strategies must be adopted to meet these challenges? What role should and must Germany and the European Union play in a future world?

These questions are at the center of the current discussion. The University of Kassel, CELA and the project network Extractivism.de therefore invite you to a digital panel discussion on Tuesday, March 15, 2022 at 6:00 pm. The event will take place via Zoom and can also be followed live on YouTube.
