Panel session. Does Multilateral Diplomacy Have a Future? Viewsof Russia and the EU
Challenges to efficient multilateral cooperation in the modern world are so large-scale that many believe that this very model of interaction has finally collapsed. Egoism begins to dominate many spheres of international life. The “me first” principle first employed by the United States is becoming more widespread. Taking their cue from the United States, many countries begin to rely on unilateral measures instead of aspiring for a harmony of interests. And where it is declared as a goal, for example, in China’s international projects, an exacerbation of rivalry often takes place. Have we entered a new era of the “war of thrones” or is it just a new stage of turmoil, to be followed by a new model taking shape?

Session 1. European Security Post Arms Control. The Threat to
Peace and How to Oppose It
2018 was a watershed year for arms control and strategic stability. Two decisions of the Trump administration – to quit the “Iran deal” and the INF Treaty – in fact drew a line under the old model of relations in the nuclear sphere. What are they to be replaced with? Will the nuclear powers be able to adapt to the new situation the principles of mutual deterrence and strategic restraint that ensured peace in the Cold War era? What can this adaptation look like and what role can Europe play?

Session 2. Are Sanctions a New Global Regulator? Reducing the Collateral Damage of Economic Wars
The global economy is changing: protectionist trends are on the rise throughout the world, universal rules more and more often fall victim to selfish approaches and separate deals. Trade and economic wars (socalled sanctions) are becoming not only a method of political pressure, but also a way of transforming the economic reality in the interests of stronger actors. How will economic entities build their relations in an increasingly fragmented world? Are economic restrictions becoming the most efficient way of promoting one’s interests?
