Institution:

Denison University

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on contemporary Russian politics with some reference to post-Soviet states. Because Russian politics cannot be understood in the absence of historical context, the course will devote some time to the Tsarist and Soviet periods. Most of the course deals with the Russian Federation under presidents Yeltsin and Putin. Constitutional debates, federalism, ethnic issues, political struggles, the Chechen war, changing relations with the U.S. and NATO, and more will be covered, as well as executive, legislative, and judicial institutions.(4 credits)
