Crises that Shaped European Politics 3: Europe's Security and Russia's Invasions of Ukraine - With Christoph Meyer

In this week's episode, we have been joined by Christoph Meyer to take a closer look at how relations between Russia and the European Union fell apart in the 2010s. As a renowned expert in European security, Christoph provides wider insights into how the Russian state's growing hostility to Ukrainian aspirations to join the European Union became part of a wider spiral of escalation between Russia and the rest of Europe. 

As Professor of European & International Politics at King’s College London, Christoph has developed groundbreaking research exploring conflict prevention, public communications and economic governance. With this extensive experience in policy areas that have been transformed by the crises Europe has faced over the last decade, Christoph can help us to better understand the geopolitical dynamics that shaped a growing conflict between Russia and the European Union.
