Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has turned the established global order on its head, and there is an urgent need for a constructive debate about how decision-makers should best navigate this uncertain environment. The Price of War conference will focus on how to understand conflict economics in a volatile world.
An invited audience will hear a series of keynote speeches and expert panels moderated by Reaction’s Maggie Pagano, Iain Martin and distinguished broadcaster Adam Boulton.
