GOVT 96.01 Russia in the World

This course will survey Russian foreign relations with the United States, the European Union, East Asia, the Middle East and the former soviet states.  It will do so while covering a number of important themes for the Russian state including energy, economic dynamics, geopolitics, transnational coalitions, and diplomacy.  Students will benefit from having multiple professors teaching in their specific areas of expertise.  Students should come away from this class with a deep understanding of Russia’s role in the world, its future ambitions and how these impact the current world order.  While formal lectures will end in the Moscow portion of the trip, students will receive further instruction via guest speakers, meetings and experiential learning events in St. Petersburg.
