NBR-Hudson Institute Discussion Workshop on Russia’s Political Economy


On April 24, 2008, NBR convened a workshop in partnership with the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., on the complex and dynamic forces shaping Russia’s emerging political economy, and the implications thereof for Russia’s domestic and foreign policy outlooks. Panelists addressed trends and challenges in Russia’s demographic pressures; human resources sectors, particularly health and education; domestic natural resource development; public finance infrastructure; and domestic foreign policy outlook, and assessed the confluent influence of these forces in shaping Russia’s emerging political economy.
