Join us on  for an online panel discussion, "The Fall of Artsakh: Refugee Crisis, Existential Threat, and Uncertain Future," with a distinguished panel including Vicken Cheterian, Bedross Der Matossian, Nerses Kopalyan, Anna Ohanyan, and David L. Phillips, moderated by Marc A. Mamigonian.

In a world that feels fractured, join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the sources if regional conflict and stability.

Why are certain regions of the world mired in conflict? And how did some regions in Eurasia emerge from the Cold War as peaceful and resilient? Why do conflicts ignite in Bosnia, Donbas, and Damascus—once on the peripheries of mighty empires—yet other postimperial peripheries like the Baltics or Central Europe enjoy quiet stability? In The Neighborhood Effect: The Imperial Roots of Regional Fracture in Eurasia (Stanford Univ. Press, 2022), Anna Ohanyan argues for the salience of the neighborhood effect: the complex regional connectivity among ethnic-religious communities that can form resilient regions.

EIU organizes in collaboration with NAASR and Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module "EU, Security and Fundamental Rights" (EUSecJuris), a two-day Summer Institute on the topic of Russia-Ukraine: War, Statecraft, and Shifting Geopolitics in Eurasia.
