In the last editorial note, I made the point that in order for the Global South to be a useful frame of analysis, we need to remind ourselves from time to time of exactly what it is. How do we define it? What are its strengths and weaknesses as an analytical tool? Out of what historical context did it first arise? How has it evolved over time? How does it bear on society today? I won’t rehash what I wrote in that piece, except to say that one point I failed to emphasize is that it is a relative concept; the Global South exists only in relation to the Global North. As I write this editorial note, I cannot take my mind off of developments in the Global North, especially those pertaining to Ukraine. It is beyond dispute that Russian aggression toward Ukraine, a sovereign nation that has had its share of ups and downs since the end of the Cold War, is both illegal and inhumane. It reflects Russian president Vladimir Putin’s personal tendencies more than it does any sound geopolitical strategy. In his view, Ukrainian nationhood is a fiction, and he is obsessed with the idea of repatriating the more than twenty million ethnic Russians living outside Russia’s borders (it is important to note that while the Russian government regards this plan as repatriation, the term is something of a misnomer in this case, given that most of these people are not from Russia and seem to have little desire to move there). The personal nature of the conflict— as if it were a vendetta exacted on a mass scale— gives his tragic misadventure an extra feeling of illegitimacy. Yet there are geopolitical implications, and they make the situation far more complex than mainstream media outlets would have you believe. If we set aside

The international conference “Complex Analysis and Related Topics 2018” (CART 2018) took place from April 23 to April 27, 2018, at the Euler International Mathematical Institute in Saint Petersburg. It was the second edition of the conference of the same name which took place in Saint Petersburg in 2014. The aim of the conference was to bring together leading experts from different branches of Complex Analysis and its applications. The scope of the conference encompassed the whole spectrum of problems in contemporary Complex Analysis as well as topics in Functional and Harmonic Analysis, Operator Theory, Geometry, Topology and Dynamical Systems inspired by or related to various Complex Analysis problems. Among the main themes of the conference one could mention the following: • Zero sets and interpolation in spaces of analytic functions; • Operators in spaces of analytic functions (such as shifts, Toeplitz and Hankel, truncated Toeplitz, etc.) and their spectral properties; • Approximation theory (including Padé) in the complex plane; and orthogonal polynomials for planar measures; • Functions of several complex variables and applications to complex geometry (including the problems of holomorphic immersion); • Applications to harmonic analysis and spectral theory of differential operators.
