Professor Korosteleva was invited to attend the 2nd Azerbaijan-UK forum in London. The opening was inaugurated by HE Elin Suleymanov, Azerbaijan Ambassador to the UK and HE Duncan Norman, UK Ambassador to Azerbaijan, followed by Bob Blackman MP and Lord Khan from UK parliament, with enigmatic concluding contribution from Dr Bakhtiyar Aslanbayli OBE, Vice-president for the Caspian, Central Asia and Turkiye region. The forum was held at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and exceptionally well attended, including by policy-makers, experts and researchers. It's very promising to see how this strategic partnership inaugurated by Dr Fariz Ismailzade, Vice Rector of ADA University and member of Milli Majlis, a year ago in Baku, is bearing fruit already, by innovating on , and playing a strategic role in for the wider and beyond.

We have been awarded a grant 'HoPE - a HUB of Planetary Ecologies - for sustainability through research, education and societal impact', to build a new partnership with @ADA University in Azerbaijan. Looking forward to renewing our successful relations with , and their colleagues! And to growing our CPD offerings on Sustainability, further research funding opportunities, and developing a platform for a dual PGR degree.

This article builds on the introduction to this Special Forum and 鈥檚 original argument about the arrival of the multi-order world. It discusses the foundations of Putin鈥檚 claimed vision for a different kind of 鈥減olarity鈥�, allegedly 鈥渘on-hierarchical鈥�, 鈥渆qual鈥�, and 鈥渟elf-regulatory鈥�, but in reality deeply hegemonic and internally conformist. In this article, I argue that not only is Putin鈥檚 vision seriously misguided, but it also fails to recognise the increasing diversity within Central Eurasia. It is furthermore 鈥減ropagated鈥� by unsustainable means, including force, coercion, disinformation, and fear. I will first explore principles of order-making, focusing on its 鈥渟ofter aspects鈥�—social memory, shared history/culture, and imaginaries of the good life—and relate them to 鈥渟ameness鈥� and 鈥渄iversity鈥� principles of the multi-order world, as more nuanced anticipatory governance. I apply this framework to Putin鈥檚 Eurasian order-building efforts to determine this order's resilience. Guess what my answer is?

Exceptionally grateful to and , and to the journal editors and reviewers for their helpful comments and support! To - for Open Access :), and to my fellow contributors for insightful discussions we all had as part of the project - Anticipating Governance in a Multi-Order World :).
