The Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs program on Global Economics presents Peter Andre and “A Behavioral Economics Perspective on Climate Action: Turning Concern into Change.”

Recent years have witnessed a growing affinity between radicalized right-wing movements in the United States and Russia, countries that have often viewed each other as intractable foes. This lecture will examine ethnonationalist movements and anti-globalist opinion-makers in both countries, with particular attention to justifications for the 2022 invasion of Ukraine and attitudes to Christian nationalism, LGBTQ+ identities, race, and performative identity.
