Global Studies: Russia & Eastern Europe

Catalog description

This course give students insight into two regions that despite economic modernization and democratization have yet to catch up to the living standard of their western neighbors. Russia and Eastern Europe are facing challenges that are — in part — created by their vast geographical expanse, diverse cultures and struggles to leave communist political, economic and business structures behind. Students work with case studies and engage in project work to analyze dynamically evolving business and trade opportunities.
