The world is constantly changing. Yesterday’s news is old news. But what about world developments now that there is war between Ukraine and Russia?
What is going on in the world and how does it affect us. Tuesday’s Nekst meeting in Kamerik was all about (world) politics and the role America plays in it. Martijn Spekkink, our Nekst IT colleague with a background in political science, highlighted the situation in Ukraine. The causes include historical territorial claims, economic interests and the geopolitical struggle between the West and Russia. Martijn’s engaging presentation provided a good understanding of the historical and regional complexities of the conflict. This provided a valuable context for Willem Post to discuss broader geopolitics and the influence of international actors such as the United States.
