Presented by CIPS

Over the past 30 years military analysts have made numerous claims that the character, or even the very nature, of war has undergone fundamental change. In this talk, Paul Robinson will compare theories of the changing character of war with the realities of the war in Ukraine. He will demonstrate that the war has defied many predictions, and will draw lessons of use to future military planners.

Speaker:

Paul Robinson is a Professor in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa, and the author of numerous works on Russian and Soviet history, military history, defence policy, and military ethics. His book ‘Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich: Supreme Commander of the Russian Army’ won the Society of Military History’s Distinguished Book Award for biography.
