A Development Strategy for Siberia

The challenges of developing Siberia have vexed Tsarist, and now Russian Federation governments for more than a century. The promise of tapping Siberia's mineral and resource riches tantalizes, but the massive logistical, climactic, and geographic obstacles are daunting. How successful Russia's current efforts to strengthen its economic and trade engagement with Asia depend to a considerable extent on how sucecssfully it can mobilize domestic and international resources to develop Siberia and the Russian Far East.

Dr. Inozemtsev, a renowned expert on Siberia and author of books and articles on the topic who has just returned from a major international conference on Siberian development held in Krasnoyarsk, will share his views on how to craft an effective development strategy for Siberia.
