Are developments in Belarus likely to spiral into violence, or are they on a path toward stability?

 

Are developments in Belarus likely to spiral into violence, or are they on a path toward stability? And what US and European policies are most likely to contribute to a satisfactory outcome for all parties involved?

 

To discuss these issues, the Center for the National Interest and Atlantic Council are co-sponsoring an online debate Thursday, September 24, at 11:00 EDT. Joining Ambassador John Herbst and Dr. Andranik Migranyan in the discussion are Dr. Keith Darden, an expert on Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus at American University, and Franak Viačorka, a fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center and vice president, Digital Communications Network.
