From #FletcherProf@crmiller1's launch of Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology to Visiting Scholars seminars, a lot is happening at @FletcherRussia.
"The destruction of #energy infrastructure is designed to simultaneously punish Ukrainians for resisting, and Europeans for supporting their resistance."
"A new era of #AI is dawning not primarily because computer programmers have grown more clever, but because they have exponentially more transistors to run their algorithms through."
Today's Eurasia Club luncheon seminar is with @FletcherSchool@FletcherRussia Visiting Scholar Andrey Todorov. The topic for today's session is focused on #arctic governance.
"The U.S. is an #Arctic state and so are other countries many people chose to study in. Even Russia is an Arctic state. Hence it occupies an important place in foreign policy in myriad ways:" Andrey Todorov @FletcherSchool
Some of the topics the audience associated with #arctic
1. The Arctic is at the forefront of multilateral cooperation. 2. Wildlife conservation. 3. Melting ice caps and climate change.
Andrey Todorov: "What happens in the Arctic does not stay there."
Today's Eurasia Club luncheon seminar is with @FletcherSchool#FletcherProf@dandrezner. Follow us for more updates from the session and Dr. Drezner's insights on the Russia-Ukraine war.
"What is striking is that the Chinese by and large have adhered to Western sanctions on #Russia. They have not sent high-end consumer goods to Russia. China needs western markets:" @dandrezner@FletcherSchool
"In recent weeks, Ukraine launched twin offenses in south and east and took #Russia by surprise and the latter lost over 4000 sq kms and stands to lose more. In response, Putin ordered partial mobilization and annexed territories:" @dandrezner
Today's Eurasia Lunch series is chaired by @FletcherSchool visiting scholar Yury Nadtochey who will speak about ways to manage escalation risks between #Russia and the West. #AcademicTwitter
Why do we need confidence-building measures to manage conflict, asks Yury Nadtochey?
"There are ways to tackle asymmetry of information and there is a basis for decision-making, based on social norms and not just Benefits-Cost Analysis." @FletcherSchool
