Looking back on the topics of the series since it started in 2014, it was marked by discussing different crises, ranging from the Russian invasion and annexation of Crimea to migration and Brexit. This year, however, Tanja A. Börzel and Thomas Risse discussed more bright spots for the future and “evidence for hope“. The event is hosted by the Center for Global Studies at the UWYO. The full video is accessible here. More about the series and past talks with Tanja A. Börzel and Thomas Risse can be found on the website.
