Our second panel turned to foreign interference in the emerging Cold War. @kristinmbakke.bsky.social presented research on public attitudes in Russia’s “near abroad,” showing how the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine disrupted geopolitical orientations and deepened polarization.

Our first panel built on Prof. Buzan’s keynote. Mariya Grinberg (MIT) argued that while the global outlook is grim, it’s unclear if we’re in a new Cold War. True bipolarity and recurring crises between 2 superpowers are absent, with only one true proxy war taking place. #CSF2025

Does CSFP co-ordination foster convergence?
By analyzing EU voting behavior on nuclear weapons in the UNGA 1979–2022, @profonderco.bsky.social
and his colleagues find that while convergence hardly increases, the level of consensus remains stable.

➡️ Such willingness however stems from alliance, not from an adversarial relationship with Beijing.
