On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a military action in Ukraine. This operation and subsequent events is having a global impact, with far-reaching political and economic implications. In the short term, the conflict will affect the global economy through three main channels: financial markets, commodity prices and supply chain disruptions. But in the long run, implications are complex to gauge and the West is heading to a decoupling from Russia on several fronts. This webinar aims to better understand the economic and political consequences of the war on the world and the Southern countries and their population.

- Will the crisis accentuate the world division between the two superpowers?
- Which evolutions in the European Union and its external relations?
