Program

Russia and Eurasia

The Russia and Eurasia Program continues Carnegie’s long tradition of independent research on major political, societal, and security trends in and U.S. policy toward a region that has been upended by Russia’s war against Ukraine.  Leaders regularly turn to our work for clear-eyed, relevant analyses on the region to inform their policy decisions.

Program

Democracy, Conflict, and Governance

The Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program is a leading source of independent policy research, writing, and outreach on global democracy, conflict, and governance. It analyzes and seeks to improve international efforts to reduce democratic backsliding, mitigate conflict and violence, overcome political polarization, promote gender equality, and advance pro-democratic uses of new technologies.

Is Russia a democracy? Will Russia be a democracy in ten years? How has Vladimir Putin's rise to power influenced the course of democratic consolidation or the lack thereof? This event will launch the new Carnegie book, Between Dictatorship and Democracy – Russian Post-Communist Political Reform, by Michael McFaul, Nikolai Petrov and Andrei Ryabov, which seeks answers to these difficult, controversial questions.

Michael McFaul , senior associate with the Carnegie Endowment and author of Between Dictatorship and Democracy – Russian Post-Communist Political Reform

Leon Aron , resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute

Stephen Sestanovich , senior fellow for Russian and Eurasian Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations

George Perkovich , Carnegie Endowment vice president for studies, will moderate the discussion.
