Gomlende på hver sin pølse i brød så de ut som to bestevenner på basketkamp, USAs daværende president Barack Obama og Storbritannias daværende statsminister David Cameron, der de satt på en tribune i Ohio tilbake i 2012. Og kanskje var det nettopp det de ville vise frem: At Storbritannia og USA hadde et helt spesielt vennskap? I boken Special Relationships in World Politics: Inter-state Friendship and Diplomacy after the Second World War (Routledge) har seniorforsker Kristin Haugevik sett nærmere på betydningen av slike spesielle vennskap. I denne episoden av NUPI-podden forteller hun mer om hvordan vennskapsbåndene mellom stater påvirker internasjonal politikk.

Since then he has employed a variety of instruments from cyber-attacks to information warfare to undermine the Western democratic order.Less well-known is his reference since the Valdai conference in 2013 to Russia as a civilizational state with privileged civilizational interests in countries with significant Russian diasporas.

It's becoming clear that Russia is on a collision course with the Western world.In this episode of NUPI podcast, Christopher Coker, professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics, gives his take on the situation.
