After Ukraine
The post-Cold War era is over and the West is back into a standoff with Russia.
Source: UN Dispatch
Carnegie President Jessica Tuchman Matthews sat down with Mark Leon Goldberg to discuss the crisis in Ukraine, her upbringing and path into foreign policy, and how two of her Foreign Affairs articles forever changed thinking about security in the modern world.
“This is a very profound shift,” Mathews said. “The post-Cold War era is over and we’re back into a standoff with Russia. Certainly the end to any sense of partnership. Now things are kind of frozen because of sanctions. So lots of paths to unwind this situation are closed off because the sanctions say ‘no you can’t talk’ or ‘no you can’t deal with this bank.’ Russia has responded in part with a pivot towards Asia, China in particular.“
