The International Grain Trade and the War

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has driven up grain prices, disrupted value chains and threatened grain supply of countries affected by hunger. There is a serious concern that Russia – the world’s largest wheat exporter – could exploit its power as a weapon of war. How are things looking in the global grain trade?

The Puzzle of Ukrainian Resilience: Hidden Factors and Potential Risks

Ukrainian resistance on the battlefield is unthinkable without the resilience of Ukrainian citizens. This resilience rests on a bedrock of civil society engagement in the years since 2014, which spurred reforms and the wider societal changes that made such a coordinated response to the Russian invasion possible.
Statement

War on Ukraine and cooperation with partners in Russia

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a war of aggression that we condemn in the strongest possible terms. Against this background, we have decided to suspend all institutional cooperations between ZOiS and Russian state institutions. However, in the spirit of academic freedom, the academic partnerships our researchers have established with individual researchers in Russia will continue, as far as this is possible.
Research Clusters
