Professor Korosteleva was invited to open the PAIS seminar series for 2026/27 with her talk on Complexity and Resilience in the Anthropocene. She based on keynote on her late book 'Complexity and Community in IR: nurturing resilience in Central Eurasia', Oxford University Press 2025, and her subsequent work on precarity and the polycrisis as the key concepts that define our turbulent times today. The talk was well attended by staff and PG and UG students, and Elena was grateful to both Mat Warson and Stuart Elden for inviting and organising her talk.

Delighted to have been invited by Professor to be part of the parliamentary roundtable: Supporting disabled Ukrainians in the UK. The panel is sponsored by Matt Western MP and focuses on the key challenges that the Ukrainians face in times of war, including disability, housing, welfare & employment, mental health, and settlement. Both Robin and reported on the results of their project (policy brief) and discussed future plans.

While being closely involved in research and support of Ukrainians and Belarusians, my heart always bleeds every time when I hear about the pain and problems these courageous and tenacious peoples face. At the same time, I know that justice will prevail, although pain and trauma will linger for decades on, and that's why we need to be ready to offer even more help and support as Prof Robin Goodwin reports.

This article builds on the introduction to this Special Forum and 鈥檚 original argument about the arrival of the multi-order world. It discusses the foundations of Putin鈥檚 claimed vision for a different kind of 鈥減olarity鈥�, allegedly 鈥渘on-hierarchical鈥�, 鈥渆qual鈥�, and 鈥渟elf-regulatory鈥�, but in reality deeply hegemonic and internally conformist. In this article, I argue that not only is Putin鈥檚 vision seriously misguided, but it also fails to recognise the increasing diversity within Central Eurasia. It is furthermore 鈥減ropagated鈥� by unsustainable means, including force, coercion, disinformation, and fear. I will first explore principles of order-making, focusing on its 鈥渟ofter aspects鈥�—social memory, shared history/culture, and imaginaries of the good life—and relate them to 鈥渟ameness鈥� and 鈥渄iversity鈥� principles of the multi-order world, as more nuanced anticipatory governance. I apply this framework to Putin鈥檚 Eurasian order-building efforts to determine this order's resilience. Guess what my answer is?

Exceptionally grateful to and , and to the journal editors and reviewers for their helpful comments and support! To - for Open Access :), and to my fellow contributors for insightful discussions we all had as part of the project - Anticipating Governance in a Multi-Order World :).
