The War in Ukraine, the Conflict with Russia and Geopolitical Shifts: Political Risks and Management Options

Special Issue by Johannes Leitner and Hannes Meissner

Johannes Leitner and Hannes Meissner have edited a special issue of the academic journal “Wirtschaft und Management”. It is dedicated to the war in Ukraine, the conflict between the West (EU/USA) and Russia and associated geopolitical shifts at the global level. It sheds light on consequences of this constellation for enterprises and asks how businesses can manage this new situation. The special issue contains contributions by Florence Ertel and Julian Plottka (University of Passau), Oxana Karnaukhova (University of Passau), as well as Albert Hayrapetyan and Susanna Aghajanyan (Armenian State University of Economics). In their own contribution, Hannes Meissner and Johannes Leitner zero in on the dramatic geopolitical changes currently taking place against the backdrop of the Russian attack on Ukraine. They analyse the possible effects on enterprises and provide an outlook on new risk management strategies in ligh of Russia’s strong influence on post-Soviet countries.
