Global Consequences of Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

Zusatztext

<p>This book highlights the geopolitical and economic consequences of the </p><p>Russias invasion of Ukraine. The author, a key architect of Polish eco-</p><p>nomic reforms and the most frequently cited economist from post-Com-</p><p>munist countries, shares new insights into the causes and mechanisms </p><p>of the Second Cold War. Written in an unorthodox, bold and lucid style, </p><p>the book raises provocative issues and provides convincing answers to </p><p>some of the most difficult questions, such as who the true beneficiaries </p><p>and interest groups behind the war are, and what their motives and con-</p><p>flicting goals are. </p><p>The book also introduces readers to the greatest challenge of our time, </p><p>climate change, and explores the long-term effects of the current arms </p><p>race and rearmament spiral on global warming. This interdisciplinary </p><p>book, which also addresses the challenges of inflation, mass migrations </p><p>and clashes between democracy and authoritarianism, will appeal to </p><p>anyone interested in the contemporary geopolitical shifts triggered by </p><p>the Russias invasion of Ukraine, but also in the dynamics and directions </p><p>of the evolution of the new cold war. </p>
