Information about the book “Red Line: The Ukrainian War and International Relations in the 21st Century”

This book brings together analyzes by Brazilian and foreign researchers on the war started by Russia against Ukraine in February 2022, discussing the causes and nature of the conflict, in addition to its impacts on international relations in the 21st century. From multiple theoretical perspectives, the work reflects on diverse themes, including the reasons that led Russia to invade Ukraine, the characteristics of military operations in the conflict, the humanitarian effects of war, and the issue of international criminal accountability of actors involved. The work also has a set of chapters focused on the position of countries in the Global South in the face of the Russian invasion, in addition to an entire part dedicated to the long-term perspectives opened up by the conflict in the international system, with emphasis on the areas of international security, international political economy and China-US and Russia-US relations.
