Mr. Lucas is an expert in energy, intelligence and cyber-security issues, he has covered Central and Eastern Europe for more than 20 years. He is also a senior vice-president at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA). In this podcast, you’ll hear us focus on a variety of thought-provoking topics: Why shouldn’t we use the term “post-Soviet”? What does he think are key aspects of communication when you talk about a big, unfathomable things? What does he think are the potentials of the Estonian e-residency concept at a larger scale? What have Estonians done right, and where can be do better? What are some of the things that we should learn from other countries?
