Join us for the next SITE Seminar! On May 19, 2026, we welcome Inna Melnykovska to examine how geopolitical coercion reshapes corporate interest formation and business–state relations. Drawing on evidence from Ukrainian firms during Russia’s full-scale invasion, the talk shows how some businesses shift from rent-seeking and narrow commercial logics toward civic and security commitments - revealing when firms become strategic partners of the state rather than compliance targets.
