Europe’s East (WP1360)

• Conflict prevention, resolution and state building
• Multilateral institutions, key countries and regions

We discuss the frictions on Europe’s eastern boundaries and ask who is to blame. We talk about the complications with having States in between Russia and the West that aren’t aligned and the ethnic Russian groups along Europe’s eastern boundary.
