Dr Gwendolyn Sasse writes on Putins enablers

Gwendolyn Sasse has written an article (11 September) for The Weekly Wonk digital magazine entiled Putins Enablers.

In it she writes, If theres one place John Kerry and most European leaders would like to be right now, its probably inside Vladimir Putins head. Wouldnt it be great to know what hes thinking? To see his Grand Strategy?

However, Putins actions so far suggest that hes reacting to political opportunities as they present themselves, rather than following some sinister master plan. The fact that political opportunities have presented themselves means the institutions meant to safeguard European security are broken. So, if we want to avoid another conflict in the future, the strategy isnt to second guess Putins next steps its to illuminate and address those tricky, institutional issues.
