The Russian invasion as a contestation of the liberal script? - A comment by Prof. Dr. Thomas Risse
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, SCRIPT members and guest authors have been sharing their perspectives on the conflict in the series ' The Russian invasion as a contestation of the liberal script?
