Russia in an Emerging World

The Hoover Institution hosts panel discussion "Russia in an Emerging World" on Wednesday, October 3, 2018 from 3:30pm - 5:00pm PST live from Stanford, the first of a new series led by former secretary of state George P. Shultz, whose intention is to learn from our changing world, to map our governance options in response, and to help structure a variety of efforts going forward. Background: Faced with an aging and shrinking population and a weak economy, Russia’s future appears uncertain. Participants will explore how Russia is taking on the challenges posed by an aging and declining population and attempting to exploit the economic and military potential of advancing technologies. Moderator: Kori Schake, International Institute for Strategic Studies Panelists: David Holloway, Freeman Spogli Institute at Stanford University Stephen Kotkin, Princeton and Hoover Institution Michael McFaul, former US ambassador to Russia, Hoover Institution Maria Smekalova, Russian International Affairs Council About the project: New and rapid societal and technological changes are complicating governance around the globe and challenging traditional thinking. Demographic changes and migration are having a profound effect as some populations age and shrink while other countries expand. The information and communications revolution is making governance much more difficult and heightening the impact of diversity. Emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence and automation, are bringing about a new industrial revolution, disrupting workforces and increasing military capabilities of both states and non-state actors. And new means of production such as additive manufacturing and automation are changing how, where, and what we produce. These changes are coming quickly, faster than governments have historically been able to respond. Led by Hoover Distinguished Fellow George P Shultz, his Project on Governance in an Emerging New World aims to understand these changes and inform strategies that both address the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities afforded by these dramatic shifts. The project will feature a series of papers and events addressing how these changes are affecting democratic processes, the economy, and national security of the United States, and how they are affecting countries and regions, including Russia, China, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. A set of essays by the participants will accompany each event and provide thoughtful analysis of the challenges and opportunities. https://hvr.co/2O5AoDK
