Reflecting on the response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the biggest security crisis in Europe for eight decades has generated the use of economic statecraft on an unprecedented scale. With geopolitical competition becoming more intense, many are asking what the future role of such statecraft will be.
Few senior figures in the Western economic response have spoken publicly since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In this lecture, Jonathan Black, Heywood Fellow at the School, will explore how economic measures were developed at speed; how the use of economic statecraft might develop in the future; and what countries should bear in mind as they do so.
The event will be introduced by Kathy Hall, COO of the School. Tom Fletcher, Principal of Hertford College, will introduce the lecture and moderate the Q&A.
