"""This book stands out by virtue of its interdisciplinary approach, which brings together area studies and IR experts to examine Russia's war on Ukraine in its multidimensional complexity. Authors provide detailed, forensic background on internal dynamics in both Ukraine and Russia, while other chapters focus on the regional and global dimensions. The chapters on economics and organised crime cover relatively underexplored ground, while a chapter by the late Christopher Coker reminds us that the West's collective amnesia about the place of war in history and society has been disastrous. The war is a seminal moment for the global order -this book will shed much needed light on its origins and consequences."" - Dr Natasha Kuhrt FHEA, Senior Lecturer in International Peace and Security, Dept of War Studies, King's College London ""This volume brings together multiple disciplinary perspectives to answer one of the most important questions of the Russo-Ukrainian War-how it changes and will change the world. Taken together the essays collected here explain with unprecedented clarity what is at stake for Ukraine and its democratic allies in this largest military conflict in the last seventy years."" - Professor Serhii Plokhy, Harvard University, and author of The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History ""The war in Ukraine is a most complex story which has generated an enormous literature, a good deal of which is as partisan as it is polemical. Fortunately, this volume avoids both traps providing an excellent overall assessment to a conflict that has not only transformed the European security order but the world at large. A must read"". - Professor Bohdan Krawchenko, Senior Research Fellow, Head, Afghanistan Research Initiative, Graduate School of Development, Advisor to the Rector on Institutional and Academic Development, University of Central Asia"
