Russia’s war on Ukraine has heavily impacted the world’s energy markets and catalysed new developments in alternative energy sources within an uncertain geopolitical landscape. As Europe attempts to cut its dependencies on Russian fossil fuels, what are the old continent’s realistic alternatives to procure its energy needs? What will be the political costs of pursuing those pathways, and how are high energy costs currently affecting politics across the West? While Russia pivots towards Africa and Asia to nurture new partnerships and seeking customers for its energy resources, what will be the implications of this shifting world order?

Join us for a discussion with Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge University and author of the recent book Disorder: Hard Times in the 21st Century, published by Oxford University Press.

Helen Thompson, Professor of political economy, Cambridge University.
