This week, Boston College Professor Matt Sienkiewicz and Interpreter Magazine’s managing editor James Miller discuss the impact of Russia’s annexation of Crimea on geopolitics. Will we see a new Cold War? A Russia-China alliance? Russia isolated on the world stage? Perhaps this crisis will mean that the world’s superpowers, locked in an unending struggle, lose relevance as the rest of the world rises? We examine the scenarios, from silly to scary, the nuggets of truth hidden amongst the crazy theories and geopolitical “Risk” playing.
