In this roundtable, we want to discuss the implications of Russia’s war in Ukraine for the world economy. We believe that this can create unique bridges of communication and discussion in German and European societies. In this roundtable, we bring together scholars with expertise and knowledge of different regions of the world. Each expert will present their assessment of the situation and a brief analysis regarding the area of respective specialization. This is followed by a discussion and the opportunity to answer questions from the audience.
