The transition away from totalitarianism and a centrally planned economy toward rule of law and a free market in Russia is resulting in fundamental shifts in social, cultural, and political values. This symposium will address how the legal, political, economic, and social forces of the transition are influenced by and are shaping crime, law, and justice in the country. In conjunction with a book he is editing on these issues, current Davis Center Post-Doctoral Fellow Dr. William Pridemore is hosting this symposium by bringing together leading scholars from six nations to present papers on a wide range of topics. Admission is free and open to the public.
