 This episode aired on Wednesday, March 5, 2014. It is perhaps our most timely episode ever, covering events in Ukraine, particularly the Crimea region, in the last two weeks. Our interview with Politics PhD Candidate Philippe Roseberry provides an excellent overview of events, as well as predictions for the future and numerous possible short- and long-term outcomes. Prof. Roseberry spoke about the potential of European Union (EU) and Western intervention, both physically and in the form of economic sanctions, and Russia's decision to "squander its reputation" or soft power gained from the Sochi Games. The second interview is with Postdoctoral Fellow Adam Molner on security at the Sochi Games. A particularly interesting aspect of the interview are Adam's comments on the legacies of new anti-terrorism legislation established in advance of the Games. Enjoy! |
