In this episode of .think atlantic, IRI’s Thibault Muzergues is joined by Jiri Kozak and Mantas Adomėnas -- Deputy Ministers of Foreign Affairs in the Czech Republic and Lithuania, respectively -- to talk about foreign policy changes in Central and Eastern Europe, including the region’s response to Russia’s undergoing invasion of Ukraine. What has changed in Czech and Lithuanian foreign policy since their new governments took office, and why? What relation does contemporary conservative foreign policy have to neoconservatism? What role can Central and Eastern European countries play in countering Russian aggression? How has Lithuania fared against Chinese economic coercion and what lessons can other CEE countries take from the experience? Listen for answers to these questions and more in this special timely episode. While you're here, remember to check out IRI’s recent report on candidate selection called “Standing Out from the Crowd,” including a chapter written by Adomėnas, on iri.org.
