On the Trail of the Bear || Russia in a Multipolar World ||

The Raisina Podcast

The current hostility in Ukraine, is expected to entail widespread repercussions globally. Today at Raisina Dialogue, we look back at the question- where has Russia re-emerged as a player in today's geo-political and geo-economic situation.

Three decades after the end of the USSR, Russia is once again a potent actor on every major geopolitical stage. Its relationship with Europe is a crucial determinant of the EU’s future path; its historic closeness with India faces new challenges, and it's Far East has become a new gateway to the Indo-Pacific. What does Russia’s re-emergence as a player mean for these geographies? How will Russia’s own conception of its place in the world affect the future of the global order? What are the important directions and new features of Russia’s evolving foreign policy?
