Original Source: Yellow Book of International Politics: Annual Report on International Politics and Security
An annual volume compiled by scholars at the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Each volume recounts major trends and events in world politics, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, China’s role in global politics, climate change, and others.
This piece from two Russia scholars at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) is a part of the 2024 version of an annual volume on international politics published by the Institute of World Economics and Politics at CASS. The authors explore factors influencing the dynamics and future of the war in Ukraine two years in. They argue that political factors (such as 2024 elections in the United States and Europe, and Putin’s growing preoccupation with regime security) will shape the intensity of the war, while economic factors will influence its duration.
