This panel discussion explores the current changes in global politics through the lens of the Biden Putin summit. Despite the wide range of disagreement on many issues between Russia and the US, where is international cooperation possible? What can be done – and by whom – to advance joint interests on collective security and climate change? And is there a specific role to play for International Geneva within an ever more polycentric landscape of global governance?

• John Erath, Senior Policy Director, Center for Arms Control and Non- Proliferation; Executive-in-residence, Global Fellowship Initiative, Geneva Centre for Security Policy

• Stephanie Hofmann, Professor, International Relations/Political Science Department, the Graduate Institute, Geneva

• Kazushige Kobayashi, Postdoctoral Researcher, Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding, the Graduate Institute, Geneva

• Paul Vallet, Lecturer and Researcher in European, American and Russian History, Associate Fellow, Global Fellowship Initiative, Geneva Centre for Security Policy
