Abstract

More than half a year has passed since Russia invaded Ukraine. The world has responded to the invasion in three ways: sanctions of the G7 countries and the EU etc. against Russia, supports of Russia by China and other anti-democratic countries and neutral attitudes of India and the global south. In this symposium, I explain how the European Union and Germany have responded to the invasion. In retaliation, Russia has used its natural gas supply to Europe as a weapon to do damage to the EU and Germany especially. The EU and Germany are faced with high inflation, gas shortage and recession. How do they respond to this risky situation and what kind of prospects do they have? Let us consider such problems in this symposium.

◆ Hosted by Asian Growth Research Institute (AGI)
◆ Jointly Hosted by the City of Kitakyushu, and the Kitakyushu Chamber of Commerce and Industry
◆ Sponsored by the Industry Club of West Japan
