When: Friday, May 14, from 18 p.m.

Where: Online

More: We often hear that Russia plays well with a weak hand. But perhaps the maps of the country are better than we think. Russia lags far behind the United States and China in traditional indicators of strength: GDP, population size and health, and military power. Nevertheless, 25 years after its climax in the mid-1990s after the collapse of the USSR, Russia has become a supremely destructive force in world politics. Catherine Stoner views Russia's resurgence and argues that we must go beyond traditional means of power to appreciate its power in world affairs. Taking into account how the domestic policy of Russia under Vladimir Putin influences its foreign policy, Stoner explains how Russia has fought back to international authority.
