Details
Our objective is to reposition Russia and Russian Studies in the age of globalisation by moving beyond hitherto binary paradigms of examining Russia (for example, Russia versus West, or Russia in transition from the Communist era). The concept of 'global' is interpreted broadly and not just as a synonym for 'contemporary', hoping that it will involve a broad spread of collaborative projects across disciplines and historical periods of study.
