The Second Annual Russia/Eurasia Forum


A Globalizing Russia?

October 29-30, 2009
Cambridge, Massachusetts

Does Leadership in Russia Matter?

Globalization is taking place in a myriad of sectors including culture, business and energy, the environment and public health, security, telecommunications and the internet, human rights, and migration. Our next forum will examine such vexing questions as, Is Russia itself globalizing, and if so, how and why? Is this a phenomenon of leadership policy, citizen behavior, or underlying social forces? As a result of these trends, will Russia become more integrated with the rest of the world, or will it endeavor to forge its own path?  An understanding of how Russia is responding to globalization must inform businesspeople, policymakers, scholars of Eurasia, and the interested public alike.
