SUMMER SCHOOL ON RUSSIA
Transcript of SUMMER SCHOOL ON RUSSIA
TRAINING SEMINAR
June 15-19, 2015
Our summer school program on Russia has been tailored by the Institut d’études internationales de Montréal. This class aims to provide better historical understanding behind the policies of modern Russia.
Born out of the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation has, in recent years, made a strong come-back in international relations. To some, Russia is a source of worries, to others, a source of amazement; in most cases, however, Russia remains somewhat of a mystery. Beyond the impression of centralized power projected by its leadership, one may well wonder what political patterns, structures and phenomena lurk. What kind of relationships is this central leadership trying to build with the global community? Our summer school program on Russia aims to go beyond the clichés that run amok about this polarizing country and explore the internal and external development of the Russian state.
Our summer school program is based on the expertise of various specialists on Russian issues, coming from academic and professional backgrounds. The program is built around seminars and panels, grouped together through di�erent topics related to the main issues of modern Russia : justice and the rule of law, the interior market, economic policies, international relations, etc. Special emphasis will be placed on identifying the important �gures of Russian policy-making and analysing the competing entities which seek to guide its path.
