Marshall Goldman, one of the world's leading authorities on Russia, will discuss his just-released book chronicling Russia's dramatic re-emergence on the world stage. In the book, Goldman describes how, under former President Vladimir Putin, Russia used its ever-expanding energy wealth to reassert its traditional great power ambitions. Moderating the event will be Clifford Gaddy, who is releasing a book later this year, with co-author Barry Ickes, called Russia's Addiction: The Political Economy of Resource Dependence.
Marshall I. Goldman is Professor of Economics Emeritus at Wellesley College and Senior Scholar at the Davis Center for Russian Studies at Harvard University. An internationally recognized authority on Russian history, politics, and economics, Goldman has written for such publications as Foreign Affairs, the New York Times, the Washington Post, The New Yorker, and Atlantic Monthly.
Clifford Gaddy is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. who has written several books on the Russian economy, including the forthcoming Russia’s Addiction: The Political Economy of Resource Dependence (co-authored with Barry Ickes); The Siberian Curse: How Communist Planners Left Russia Out in the Cold (with Fiona Hill); and Russia’s Virtual Economy (with Barry Ickes).
