February 24, 2023, will mark one year since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with no end to the conflict in sight. With a focus on “geoeconomics”—which analyzes wars, conflicts, and political confrontation from an economic perspective—economic security expert Kazuto Suzuki and diplomatic historian Yuichi Hosoya, who has served on many government security and defense committees, will discuss the evolving international order and geoeconomic risks. The discussion will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a reception.
