#1TRAINING SEMINAR SUMMER SCHOOL ON RUSSIA June 15-19, 2015 Our summer school program on Russia has been tailored by the Institut d'études internationales de Montréal. This class aims to provide better historical understanding behind the policies of modern Russia. Born out of the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation has, in recent years, made a strong come-back in international relations. To some, Russia is a source of worries, to others, a source of amazement; in most cases, however, Russia remains somewhat of a mystery. Beyond the impression of centralized power projected by its leadership, one may well wonder what political patterns, structures and phenomena lurk. What kind of relationships is this central leadership trying to build with the global community? Our summer school program on Russia aims to go beyond the clichés that run amok about this polarizing country and explore the internal and external development of the Russian state. Our summer school program is based on the expertise of various specialists on Russian issues, coming from academic and professional backgrounds. The program is built around seminars and panels, grouped together through different topics related to the main issues of modern Russia: justice and the rule of law, the interior market, economic policies, international relations, etc. Special emphasis will be placed on identifying the important figures of Russian policy-making and analysing the competing entities which seek to guide its path. For students Enhance your knowledge on key actors in modern Russia and on its current political and economic situation! You can take advantage of this class to widen your network of contacts with other participants, as well as academic, business, law and diplomatic professionals. You can participate in the entire curriculum or pick and choose the day you wish to attend. For professionals Summer schools also target a professional public such as members of the Quebec Bar, the Order of Architects, as well as managers and experts from a variety of industries, journalists, public servants, doctors, and workers from community organizations and associations.
