By subjugating Ukraine, he hopes to reassert Russia's status as a great power, discourage other neighbours from pivoting west, and distract from domestic issues through nationalist fervour. Ultimately, Putin fears the erosion of Russia's imperial legacy and the contagion of democratic aspirations among his own people—making Ukraine not just a strategic interest, but an existential concern for his rule and survival. In other words, he will not stop, unless stopped. ----------Keir Giles has spent his career watching, studying, and explaining Russia.

We are naturally focused on the war in Ukraine, as the largest such conflict since WWII on the territory of Europe. But this is just the latest manifestation of extreme aggression b Russia, in a pattern of expansion and coercion of its neighbours that goes back centuries. In this interview, Keir Giles explains the outline of future threats / future wars, and whether its possible to deter the Kremlin from returning Europe to a state of perpetual warfare. Is containing a revanchist Russia the best we can hope for, or are there political, social and structural problems that prevent Europe from mounting an adequate defence. Are we in a race against time, where direct conflict with Russia is practically unavoidable, and the stakes higher than we can possibly imagine? ---------- Keir Giles has spent his career watching, studying, and explaining Russia.

After Putin's Munich Security conference speech in 2007, Moscow's intent to challenge the West became clearer. A question arose almost immediately: how far the country as a whole or its leader was at fault— whether the world had a Russia problem or a Putin problem. Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine analysts have continued to debate the attitudes of ordinary Russians toward the war. Do a broad majority of Russians genuinely support the crimes and atrocities committed by their country's armed forces? If not, why do they give every appearance of doing so, and acquiesce to be mobilised? ---------- Keir Giles has spent his career watching, studying, and explaining Russia.

Calls to treat as legitimate the ‘security concerns' raised by Russia, and to account for these in a future settlement of the war in Ukraine, disregard the fact that Moscow's requirements are fundamentally incompatible with European security. Proponents of a settlement in the war on Ukraine often put forward the idea that Russian ‘security concerns' must be taken into account in any such settlement, but also in broader revisions to the European security system. These proposals echo the Russian information campaign over the past 30 years to persuade European publics that there can be ‘no security in Europe without Russia'. They provide false support to the argument that Western security policy after the collapse of the USSR unnecessarily encroached on core Russian interests by expanding NATO and forcing Moscow to militarize its foreign policy. In this telling, Russia was merely challenging what it viewed as an unjust European security order. ---------- SPEAKER: Keir Giles is a senior consulting fellow with the Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House. Keir has supported Chatham House in its Russia-focused research since 2013 and previously worked with the BBC Monitoring Service and the UK Defence Academy, where he wrote and advised on Russian military, defence, and security issues – including human factors influencing Russian security policy, Russian strategy and doctrine, the Russian view of cyber and information security, and Russia's relations with its neighbours in northern Europe. Keir is the author of multiple publications explaining the Russian approach to warfare. These include NATO's Handbook of Russian Information Warfare; and Moscow Rules: What Drives Russia to Confront the West. He examined consistent patterns of Western success and failure in deterring Russian aggression. His most recent book is Russia's War on Everybody: And What it Means for You, which describes the human impact of Russia's campaigns to acquire power and influence around the world. ---------- BOOKS: Russia's War on Everybody: And What it Means for You (2022) Moscow Rules: What Drives Russia to Confront the West (2019) The Turning Point for Russian Foreign Policy (2017) The State of the NATO-Russia Reset (2011) Potential Challenges to Public Order and Social Stability in the Russian Federation (2011) ---------- LINKS: https://twitter.com/KeirGiles https://www.chathamhouse.org/2023/06/how-end-russias-war-ukraine ----------

Russian Disinformation is relentless. Like floodwaters it envelops all low-lying and unprotected things and when it recedes, leaves them coated with a filthy, foul-smelling taint. We are all of us vulnerable. Russian disinformation continues to be a threat to Ukrainian sovereignty and unity, though is perhaps not as effective as it was in the years 2014-2022. Nonetheless new narratives are created and propagated continuously to try and divide, confuse, and delay the allies supporting Ukraine, and to erode support for Ukraine's cause around the world. Aggressive information warfare still threatens information security and social stability, especially in states which Russia seeks to destabilise, confuse, or coerce politicians into supporting it. Russia is still a malign influence in the world. ~~~~~ Yuliia Dukach is a full-stack data journalist at Texty.org.ua and has extensive experience in creating a range of data-driven stories and investigating disinformation in the Ukrainian news media.

You may not be interested in Russia. But Russia is interested in you. Writes Kier Giles in his book: Russia's War on Everybody. Russia's full-scale attack on Ukraine in 2022 is a challenge to the West also, and has prompted a range of responses, but also hesitancy, anxiety, and caution. From the expansion of NATO to military investment planning, supply of equipment and training of Ukraine troops, the Western alliance, as well as many other countries, are in this war, whether they fully acknowledge and embrace it, or not. But Russia has been waging a clandestine war against the West for decades. Hostile acts abroad, from poisoning dissidents to shooting down airliners, interfering in elections, spying, hacking, and murdering, have long been part and parcel of Kremlin foreign policy. But what is it all for? Why does Russia consistently behave like this? And what does it achieve? ---------- SPEAKER: Keir Giles has spent his career watching, studying, and explaining Russia.

The Chinese Communist Party recently banned portrayals of effeminate men in popular entertainment, and is encouraging a stronger image for men. Yet for a regime that previously held violent campaigns to destroy tradition, and traditional social roles, why is it now changing this policy? According to John Mac Ghlionn, a psychosocial specialist and Epoch Times contributor, this reflects the regime's top priority of ensuring the survival of the Communist Party, yet how are portrayals of weak men a danger to social stability? And what does this tell us more broadly about the pillars of a healthy society? ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

In this episode of the Matrix Podcast, Julia Sizek interviews Biz Herman, a PhD candidate in the UC Berkeley Department of Political Science, a Visiting Scholar at The New School for Social Research's Trauma and Global Mental Health Lab, and a Predoctoral Research Fellow with the Human Trafficking Vulnerability Lab. Her dissertation, Individual Trauma, Collective Security: The Consequences of Conflict and Forced Migration on Social Stability, investigates the psychological effects of living through conflict and forced displacement, and how these individual traumas shape social life.  In the podcast, we talk about Biz's research on mental health and social stability at the Za'atri Refugee Camp in Jordan.  About Biz Herman Biz Herman is a PhD Candidate in Political Science at University of California, Berkeley, a Visiting Scholar at The New School for Social Research's Trauma and Global Mental Health Lab, and a Predoctoral Research Fellow with the Human Trafficking Vulnerability Lab. Her research examines the ways in which experiencing trauma and violence — both at the individual level (personal traumas) and collective level (national tragedies) — shape sociopolitical outcomes relevant to peace and security. Her book project, Individual Trauma, Collective Security: The Consequences of Conflict and Forced Migration on Social Stability, investigates how the psychological consequences of living through conflict and forced displacement shape intergroup dynamics, prosocial behavior, and support for peace and reconciliation efforts. Her research has been supported by the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, the University of California Institute on Global Conflict & Cooperation (IGCC) Dissertation Fellowship, the Simpson Memorial Research Fellowship in International & Comparative Studies, the Malini Chowdhury Fellowship on Bangladesh Studies, and the Georg Eckert Institute Research Fellowship. Along with collaborators Justine M. Davis & Cecilia H. Mo, she received the IGCC Academic Conference Grant to convene the inaugural Human Security, Violence, and Trauma Conference in May 2021. This multidisciplinary meeting brought together over 170 policymakers, practitioners, and researchers from political science, behavioral economics, psychology, and public health for a two-day seminar on the implications of conflict and forced migration. She has served as an Innovation Fellow at Beyond Conflict's Innovation Lab, which applies research findings from cognitive and behavioral science to the study of social conflict and belief formation. In addition to her academic work, Biz is an Emmy-nominated photojournalist and a regular contributor to The New York Times. In 2019, she pitched and co-photographed The Women of the 116th Congress, which included portraits of 130 out of 131 women members of Congress, shot in the style of historical portrait paintings. The story ran as a special section featuring 27 different covers, and was subsequently published as a book, with a foreword by Roxane Gay.

Barney Frank, the former US Congressman who chaired the House Financial Services Committee and co-authored the Dodd-Frank Act, shared his insights on the key priorities of the incoming Biden administration and the imperative for the President's cabinet picks to balance growth with the fair distribution of wealth. He stressed that the Biden White House must steer economic, foreign and regulatory policies towards benefitting the average American worker and the US economy. He acknowledged that while innovation and technology are creating growth and wealth in the new economy, they have also caused a deep social divide between workers with and without the requisite skills and tools to be successful. He quipped, “While rising tides may lift all boats, not everyone can afford a boat. And if you are tiptoeing in the water, a rising tide may not be such a good idea”. One way to address the imbalance, Frank suggested is the establishment of labour unions for workers in the service and “gig” sectors along the line of industrial labour unions created by President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s and 1940s that birthed the American middle class after the Great Depression and Second World War. With inflation being less of a concern and Congress' support, Frank pointed to increased infrastructure spending and expansion of Medicare facilities as means to put money into the pockets of the average worker to drive growth with equity. In a clear message to the financial industry, he stressed the need for the new administration to be fair and reasonable but at the same time hard on matters pertaining to financial regulation. Under the Biden administration, he envisages a socially responsible trade policy supported by fair terms but also one that reduces ‘hurt' on American people and protects local interests.

With more than 100 million citizens mostly crowded in metropolitan Cairo and along the Nile river, Egypt is near-impossible to govern, as it is persistently plagued with social unrest, economic misery and security forces struggling against terror groups of various Islamist and Jihadists affiliations. Nevertheless, Egyptian President Abd-el Fatah a-Sisi seems to have relatively stabilized the country in difficult times, including in dealing with the implications of the Coronavirus crisis. Is this really the case?

We know that climate change has serious implications for human health, including the spread of vector-borne disease and the global increase of malnutrition. What we don’t yet know is how expansive these health issues could become or how these problems will impact social stability. On episode 12 of Not Cool, Ariel is joined by Kris Ebi, professor at the University of Washington and founding director of its Center for Health and the Global Environment. Kris explains how increased CO2 affects crop quality, why malnutrition might alter patterns of human migration, and what we can do to reduce our vulnerability to these impacts. She also discusses changing weather patterns, the expanding geographic range of disease-carrying insects, and more. Topics discussed include: -Human health and social stability -Climate related malnutrition -Knowns and unknowns -Extreme events and changing weather patterns -Vulnerability and exposure -Steps to reduce vulnerability -Vector-borne disease -Endemic vs. epidemic malaria -Effects of increased CO2 on crop quality -Actions individuals can take

In which Jon Kukla and I discuss 17th Century Virginia governmental and societal stability. This discussion is based off of Dr. Kukla's 1985 American Historical Review article "Order and Chaos in Early America: Political and Social Stability in Pre-Restoration Virginia", which challenged the then prevailing notion that 17th Century Virginia was chaotic and unstable.

March 4, 2015 The relationship between religious proselytism and development is sharply contested. International covenants recognize that religious freedom includes rights to personal religious conversion and public religious witness. But critics claim that proselytism can violate the rights of affected communities to maintain their traditions and can sow division in fragile societies. There is wide agreement that development aid should never be conditioned on religious conversion. Disagreement centers on whether, when, and how a vigorous religious marketplace, including the freedom to proselytize, fosters social dynamism and development or, on the contrary, social division that undercuts development goals. Over the course of the day-long dialogue, three panels of distinguished religious leaders, development practitioners, and scholars will examine these issues from diverse perspectives. A keynote conversation will feature Pastor Rick Warren, founder of Saddleback Church, and Ruth Mes
