Come join us to gain insights on the reasoning behind Indonesia’s (a key ‘grey zone’ country) stance on Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Department of Politics and International Studies (PAIS)@warwickpais.bsky.social · last yr.

Today at 13:15 in OC1.02 (The Oculus) Dr. Radityo Dharmaputra (Universitas Airlangga) unpacks how Indonesia is responding to Russia’s war—through diplomacy, media, and strategic positioning. A deep dive into global influence, democratic resilience & Southeast Asia’s evolving role in world affairs.

Looking forward to welcoming Professor Emmers to get his valuable perspective on how Southeast Asian states are reacting to (and negotiating) ongoing geopolitical shifts. It is sure to be of interest to regional specialists, those who work on the liberal international order, and small/middle powers.
