PONARS Members
|
PONARS program members are leading social science scholars who focus on Russian and Eurasian security issues, broadly defined. Along with traditionally defined geopolitical and strategic concerns of Russia and Eurasia, PONARS members focus on the broad array of factors that influence foreign policy and military doctrine in the region, including: the state of the Russian economy and economic reform, non-proliferation and arms control, identity issues, center-periphery relations, relations among the former Soviet republics, domestic political and non-governmental institutions, Western policy and influence in the region, and a host of other areas that shape the perceptions and decisions of policymakers in Russia and Eurasia-and in the West.
