TONIGHT Dr. Grodsky speaks about "Regime Change in Russia?"
Profs and Pints 6pm to 8:30pm in DC
What are the chances that Putin actually could be overthrown?
Profs and Pints DC presents: "Regime Change in Russia?" a look at Vladimir Putin's prospects of being removed from power, with Brian K. Grodsky, professor of political science at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, scholar of democratization, and author of The Democratization Disconnect.
Professor Grodsky will give us a firm grounding in what's known about the feasibility of democratization in various non-democratic regime types, from competitive authoritarian regimes to single party and personalistic ones. He'll look at the various revolutions that have long caused Putin so much worry, including those in Ukraine, Georgia and the former Yugoslavia, discussing what drove them and their essential ingredients.
Focusing on Russia, he'll examine whether similar movements have ever gained steam there, and how Putin has dealt with various challenges to his own power over the past two decades.
