Channel: War Studies KCL
Date: 2021-01-28

Dr Marcin Kaczmarski, Lecturer in Security Studies, University of Glasgow and Dr. Elizabeth Wishnick, Professor of Political Science, Montclair State University explore the state of the rapprochement between China and Russia, whose relations have steadily improved since 1989, to the extent that some are calling the relationship an alliance. Panelists will explore both the drivers and the limitations of the relationship, going beyond the often superficial analyses in the media to show the shared understandings underlying the relationship, but equally showing the areas where tensions remain.
