Whether in Ukraine or Syria, Russia’s actions have largely caught the West by surprise. Are they isolated and contextual convulsions or, more profoundly, the symptoms of a new direction in Russia’s foreign policy? What drives Russia’s foreign policy? What prompted a shift of gear during Vladimir Putin’s third presidential term, particularly in Russia policies towards Europe and the post-soviet space? This Dahrendorf panel discussion will look into this questions, reuniting experts and authors of a book* recently published on the topic at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

*Russia’s Foreign Policy: Ideas, Domestic Politics and External Relations, co-edited by David Cadier and Margot Light, is published by Palgrave. More information about the book is available here.
