He is an associate editor of the journal Russia in Global Affairs and sits on the boards of the International Institute for Peace in Vienna, the Center for Nationalism Studies in Sarajevo, Serbia and at the Contemporary World Economy in Moscow. Prof. Diesen has published 11 books dealing with Russia and Eurasia, the European Union, NATO and the clash between East and West, which have been translated into multiple languages. His most recent release is "The Ukraine War and the Eurasian World Order" that looks at the Ukraine conflict as a symptom of the collapsing world order, the decline of US-Western global hegemony, and the rise of a new multipolar order that emphasizes the individual sovereignty of nations. Dr. Diesen was educated in Australia and received his doctorate in international relations jointly from Macquaire University in Australia and Vrije University in the Netherlands. He hosts a talk program on geopolitics, often co-hosted with Alexander Mercouris from The Duran, that can be viewed on the Glenn Diesen Youtube channel.
