SUMMARY:Sergie Medvedev: The Return of the Russian Leviathan
DESCRIPTION:Global Speakers Program \nRussia’s relationship with its neighbors and with the West has worsened dramatically in recent years. Under Putin’s leadership\, the country has annexed Crimea\, begun a war in Eastern Ukraine\, used chemical weapons on the streets of the UK\, and created an army of Internet trolls to meddle in the US presidential elections. How should we understand this apparent relapse into aggressive imperialism and militarism? \nSergei Medvedev will discuss this new wave of Russian nationalism which he feels is the result of mentalities that have long been embedded within the Russian psyche. Whereas in the West\, the turbulent social changes of the 1960s and raising awareness of the legacy of colonialism have modernized attitudes\, Russia has been stymied by an enduring sense of superiority over its neighbors alongside a painful nostalgia for empire. It is this irrational worldview that Putin and others have exploited\, as seen most clearly in Russia’s recent foreign policy decisions\, including the annexation of Crimea.

SUMMARY:Kevin Cassidy: Global Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:The Global Supply Chain is too complex\, interconnected\, and fragile to be made completely immune to shocks\, especially ones such as seismic as a global pandemic\, or a major war. Major ports the world over\, which used to operate like clockwork\, are now beset by delays\, with container ships queuing for days in some of the worst congestion ever recorded. A backlog of orders and a shortage of drivers have caused trucking costs to triple. More than a million containers due to travel to Europe from China by train — on a route that goes through Russia — must now make their journey by sea as sanctions bite. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also severed key supply lines for nickel\, aluminum\, wheat\, and sunflower oil\, causing commodity prices to skyrocket. \nDespite the difficulties of today’s supply crisis\, Kevin Cassidy is optimistic about the opportunities being created.  He believes it is an exciting time for businesses and labor to rethink supply chains and make them stronger for companies\, workers and people around the world.
