This grant will boost the activities of the RPSA’s membership in two areas of direct relevance to MacArthur’s new initiative on Russia’s Global Engagement: non-proliferation and safety of nuclear materials, and governance in the Arctic. Project outputs will include workshops and panels at the RPSA’s Sixth All-Russian Congress of Political Science, along with publications and targeted outreach to the Russian Internet and mainstream media.
