HY:Lohikäärme ja Karhu, yhdestoista Aleksanteri –konferenssi 9.-11.11.

The 11th Annual Aleksanteri Conference The Dragon and the Bear:
Strategic Choices of China and Russia" is now open for audience
registration.

Over the past two decades, Russia and China have both experienced
extensive socio-economic and political transformation, as well as
foreign policy reorientation. Within the framework of transition
studies, these developments have naturally been a rather popular subject of academic study and applied research. However, only a few
scholars have studied the post-Communist developments in Russia and
China in comparative perspective. The 11th Aleksanteri Conference
compares Russia´s and China´s transformation from three interrelated
perspectives: socio-economic system, political system, and international
system.
Keynote speakers include:
