What has Russia become, and where is it going? Join us on the day after Russia's Presidential election (or selection) as the Center for Policy Studies hosts three groundbreaking scholars of post-Soviet affairs. Tom Remington, Professor of Political Science at Emory University, is the author of two books on the Russian Parliament and a basic text, Politics in Russia, now in its 5th edition. Andrew Barnes, Associate Professor of Political Science at Kent State University, has authored numerous studies of the new Russian economy, including Owning Russia: The Struggle Over Factories, Farms, and Power. Kelly McMann, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Case Western Reserve University, studies democratization in Russia and other ex-Soviet states, and is the author of Economic Autonomy and Democracy: Hybrid Regimes in Russia and Kyrgyzstan.
This event was made possible by the generosity of Ms. Eloise Briskin.
