| Friday, December 6, 2013 | 2:00PM - 4:00PM | The Vivian and David Campbell Conference Facility, Munk School of Global Affairs - 1 Devonshire Place |
Description
This week, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians flooded the streets of Kiev in response to President Yanukovych’s decision to postpone an Association Agreement with the European Union. Why did efforts to reach an agreement between the EU and Ukraine fail? What does this failure tell us about Russia’s influence in the region? Is a second orange revolution in Ukraine in the offing? Two experts on Ukrainian politics, Taras Kuzio (CPRS, CIUS, University of Alberta) and Lucan Way (CERES, University of Toronto), will discuss Ukraine’s future on Friday between 2 and 4 in the Campbell room at the Munk School of Global Affairs. Katerina Sosnina, a second-year PhD student in Ukrainian history at the National University “Kiev-Mohyla Academy” who is on academic exchange at CERES this semester, will join the panel to share her reflections on the events in Ukraine and youth involvement in the protests. Professor Peter Solomon (CERES, University of Toronto) will moderate.
