How has Russia interacted with its many neighbours and how does it manage those relationships today? Students will study a range of topics including, but not limited to, nationalism and ethnicity, nuclear weapons, NATO expansion, the colour revolutions, energy politics, Baltic regional security, German-Russian relations, and the rise of China. Where appropriate, the course will include a crisis simulation, pushing students to think strategically.

  • Very interesting but prof was very dry - three hour lectures with no technology, tests difficult, but readings very interesting.
