Session 2: Simultaneity, Continuity or Disruption in Times of War?

In this panel, we want to discuss different political processes since February 2022. The presentations will address the changing perceptions of security and insecurity on a strategic and local level in Poland and Lithuania. With a focus on Bulgaria, it will map the political dynamics in the party system and re-emerging East-West divides in South eastern Europe. It will also investigate how climate change policies have developed in Russia prior to and since the start of war in Ukraine. A variety of processes show continuities, changes and discontinuities because or despite the disruptive war. With a focus on different times and temporal horizons, we want to discuss the challenges that arise from the war.
