The in-depth discussion is dedicated to the recently published ENC Analysis “Soft Power Lessons from Russia’s War: How to Overcome Polarisation and Strengthen Liberal Democracy” by our Academic Council Member Dr. Leila Alieva.
In her article, Dr. Leila Alieva discusses the international community’s response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, highlighting significant insights that extend beyond the battlefield, revealing major weaknesses in soft power strategies, and exploring how addressing these issues through inclusive approaches can mitigate polarization and contribute to a more resilient and unified international order.
The discussion was moderated by Samuel Doveri Vesterbye, ENC Managing Director, and features the comments and insights of Dr. Leila Alieva, ENC Academic Council Member and an affiliate of Russian and East European Studies at Oxford University’s School for Global Arena Studies.
