Episode 92: New Year Special Part One: Europe, Eurasia and the Middle East


At the start of 2025, we reflect on security challenges from the previous year and look at what to expect in the coming months.

The past year registered many landmark events in global security. But what was foreseen, and what was unexpected? And how have security events altered the trajectory of various regions? In the first episode of this two-part special, host Neil Melvin is joined by colleagues from RUSI’s International Security team Ed Arnold, Burcu Ozcelik and Callum Fraser to examine the year that has passed and to look at what’s coming next in Europe, Eurasia and the Middle East.
