System Shock: Russia’s War and Global Food, Energy, and Mineral Supply Chains [[link removed]]
Wednesday, April 13 // 11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. (ET)
Russia’s war is devastating the people and economy of Ukraine, but also sending shockwaves through global systems for natural resources like food, oil and natural gas, and critical minerals. While the biggest impacts of the conflict will continue to be felt by Ukrainians and Russians, the secondary effects on global food and energy systems could be substantial. It’s only by looking at these natural resource systems together that we can truly understand the compounding effect of the conflict on global supply chains.
Join the Wilson Center for a panel discussion with experts to help unpack these complicated systems and explore how policymakers can respond now to head off the worst future outcomes.

In this book, Gary Gerstle deploys the powerful notion of ‘political order’ to examine America’s recent history—the past forty years when the nation fastened its fortunes to marketization, global economic integration, a harsh penal state, and sharpening inequality. Gerstle explores why so many Americans on both the right and left—Barry Goldwater and Steve Jobs, Ronald Reagan and Ralph Nader, Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton—fell under neoliberalism’s spell.

Speakers at this China Environment Forum event will explore how China has been expanding nuclear power both at home and abroad.
