With Professor Marko Bojcun and Chris Ford. Recent events in Ukraine have given rise to international concern, and relations between Russia and the West have seriously deteriorated.

His most recent publications are on the redevelopment of capitalism in Ukraine, the impact of the international financial crisis in Eastern Europe, and Ukraine's relations with the European Union. Chris Ford has been involved in solidarity work with the independent workers' movement in Poland and Ukraine for many years, and has written widely on aspects of critical theory, labour history and contemporary affairs. His works include The Crossroads of the European Revolution: Ukrainian Social-Democrats and Communists 1917-1920. Nearest tube station Farringdon. 6.45pm (doors open 6.30).
