What if Russia wins? Prof. Carlo Masala addressed this question in his recent lecture as he presented his book "If Russia Wins", showing how a 2028 Russian attack on Estonia could expose Europe’s political paralysis and weak defence. A stark reminder of what’s at stake. @ims.fsv.cuni.cz

Does public opinion shape elite preferences for nuclear weapon use? 🚀 Our new article in @ejisbisa.bsky.social provides the first experimental evidence that political elites are at least partially influenced by public sentiment when considering high-level decisions on nuclear weapon use.

📉 Do kdy ještě může Putin financovat válku na Ukrajině? Schodky státního rozpočtu se propadají, americké sankce snižují příjmy z ropy a plynu a propouštění zaměstnanců snižuje zisk z daně z příjmu. Situaci popsal náš výzkumník Karel Svoboda pro server info.cz. 👇 www.info.cz/zpravodajstv...

As the United States faces simultaneous challenges from Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and others, it cannot afford to equate credibility with maximalist shows of force.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Experts believed Biden's careful strategy towards UA (sanctions instead of attempts of military resolve) would hurt U.S. credibility. A new 24-country public opinion survey from @laurensukin.bsky.social et al. however finds the opposite: the calculated strategy raised U.S. credibility.

"Cold wars, unlike hot wars, do not have a clear start; they have a clear ending, however.”
Professor Barry Buzan used this point to highlight how today’s geopolitical tensions lack a defined beginning yet show familiar patterns of rivalry and competition reminiscent of the Cold War era.

Mariya Grinberg was more cautious about calling the current tensions a Second Cold War. She noted:
“I do think we’re not quite in a Cold War, but I’m not entirely sure that makes things any better.”

Erik Lin-Greenberg argued that the current Cold War is “hotter” than the first, mainly due to new technologies such as cyber weapons, drones, and AI, which have increased the risk of escalation. He noted that these tools make conflicts far more visible to the public.

One of the world’s most distinguished International Relations theorists, Professor Barry Buzan opened his keynote by declaring that we are already living in a Second Cold War, shaped by the end of the Western-led order and the rise of global crises.

Our first panel built on Prof. Buzan’s keynote. Mariya Grinberg (MIT) argued that while the global outlook is grim, it’s unclear if we’re in a new Cold War. True bipolarity and recurring crises between 2 superpowers are absent, with only one true proxy war taking place. #CSF2025
