POL 384 - Contemporary Russian and Eurasian Politics

3 Credits
Offered Fall
Contemporary Russia emerged from the ashes of the Soviet Union, which collapsed in 1991 and signaled the end of the Cold War. The course examines the domestic politics of the Russian Federation, as well as its relations with its most immediate neighbors, from Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus to Central Asia. It examines the contemporary causes of Russia’s resurgence in world politics, which many see as threatening the liberal rules-based world order. Prospects of democratization and modernization of governance in Russian politics are examined, both in domestic and global contexts.
