Borders Politics in Uncertain Times: the Case of Finland

Since the outbreak of war in Ukraine in February 2022, the security environment between the European Union and Russia has evolved drastically, transforming the geopolitics of the region as well as the nature of alliances and European integration.

In this context, the Center for Geopolitical Studies, in partnership with the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (Concordia University), organized a conference with Jussi P. Laine, who examined recent developments at the border between Finland and Russia, where past practices of cooperation and interdependence came to an abrupt end following the Russian invasion.

This event was hosted by Élisabeth Vallet.
