SUMMARY:Year of Russia: Russia's Domestic Politics
DESCRIPTION:Media often report that Vladimir Putin is highly popular as president of Russia\, but why does this matter if he is a dictator\, as media also often report? In fact\, Russia’s political system is more complex than simple notions of “dictatorship” or “democracy” would have it\, and public opinion is key to the regime’s stability. Survey research\, including certain experimental methods\, can be used to understand the sources of Putin’s support and the prospects for it to continue\, including the surge that Putin reaped after Russia annexed Crimea. \nSpeaker: Henry Hale \nHenry E. Hale is Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University (GW) and the author of Patronal Politics: Eurasian Regime Dynamics in Comparative Perspective (Cambridge\, 2015). Specializing on political regimes\, ethnic politics\, and post-Soviet politics\, his previous work has won two awards from the American Political Science Association\, including one for his book Why Not Parties in Russia (Cambridge\, 2006). During 2009-12\, he was director of the Institute for European\, Russian\, and Eurasian Studies (IERES) at GW’s Elliott School of International Affairs\, and he is currently editorial board chair of Demokratizatsiya: The Journal of Post-Soviet Democratization.

SUMMARY:Great Decisions Lecture Series: Latin America’s Falling Economies
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Great Decisions lecture series\, GCIV welcomes Emory University Associate Professor Tom Rogers to discuss the political climate of Latin America. \nThe pendulum of Latin American politics is swinging rightward once again. Yet as the “pink tide” recedes\, the forces of change have more to do with socioeconomics than ideology. Dramatic economic and political crises have coincided in countries like Brazil and Venezuela. Still\, the final result for Latin America may be the emergence of centrist\, pragmatic modes of governance\, and with them\, opportunities for the U.S. to improve relations. The new administration must look beyond the neoliberal model of the 1990s\, and develop an approach to relations fit for the 21st century. \nEvents in this series cost $40 and includes a briefing book. A $10 companion book can be bought. \nPlease view additional information here.

SUMMARY:The Nile Project
DESCRIPTION:Conceived by an Egyptian ethnomusicologist and an Ethiopian-American singer\, The Nile Project is dedicated to empowering (through music) the diverse—and sometimes conflicted—communities living along the more than 4\,000 miles of the Nile River. Consisting of a dozen musicians representing each country bordering the Nile\, the musicians speak many languages\, use varied rhythms\, and play many instruments—from Sudanese harps and Ugandan adungu lyres to Egyptian flutes. But out of this mixture comes melody—just as the Nile Project seeks to turn conflict into harmony. \nPurchase single tickets online or in the Rialto Center’s Box Office. Rialto Series Subscriptions for 2016-2017 year are available at the Rialto Center’s Box Office now. \nFree Validated Parking at the 100 Peachtree Parking (formally known as the Equitable Parking Deck).
