The course begins with a brief review of the dynamics of the Soviet system and the reasons for its collapse in 1991. The traumatic transition of the 1990s raised profound questions about what conditions are necessary for the evolution of effective political and economic institutions. The chaos of the Yeltsin years was followed by a return to authoritarian rule under President Putin, although the long-run stability of the Putin system is also open to question. Students will study the political dynamics of modern-day Russia, Putin's regime and the opposition to the regime, as well as the logic of the events that led to Putin's full-scale aggression against Ukraine. Topics include political institutions, social movements, economic reforms, and foreign policy strategies. |
