Field Historian Daniel Armes explains the deep historical ties between Russia and the Ukraine, and how that context is significant to the current conflict on GNSI’s “At the Boundary” podcast.

Along with Tad Schnaufer, PhD, Armes breaks down his “Journal of Strategic Security” article which broadens the perspective of the region’s tension. The struggle between the two countries dates back to the 800s, and is influenced by the Byzantine Empire, the Great Schism of 1054, and the impact of the Mongol invasions.

The episode also touches on how the Russia-Ukraine war affects other global and national security issues.

At the Boundary from the Global and National Security Institute at the University of South Florida, features global and national security issues we’ve found to be insightful, intriguing, fascinating, maybe controversial, but overall just worth talking about.

A "boundary" is a place, either literal or figurative, where two forces exist in close proximity to each other. Sometimes that boundary is in a state of harmony. More often than not, that boundary has a bit of chaos baked in. The Global and National Security Institute will live on the boundary of security policy and technology and that's where this podcast will focus.

The mission of GNSI is to provide actionable solutions to 21st-century security challenges for decision-makers at the local, state, national and global levels. We hope you enjoy At the Boundary.
