Join George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs for a talk with Sarah Wilson Sokhey on pension politics in Russia. Her talk will draw on research from her recent book, "The Political Economy of Pension Policy Reversal in Post-Communist Countries," which won the 2018 Ed A. Hewett Book Prize for an outstanding publication on the political economy of Russia, Eurasia and Eastern Europe. In this book, she examines the global trend in the reversal of a radical pension policy using survival analysis, survey data and case studies of the Russian, Polish and Hungarian experiences. Her work lends insight into how and why major policy reversals occur in a wide variety of contexts. Registration can be found at this link. 

Speaker:

Sarah Wilson Sokhey, assistant professor, department of political science, University of Colorado
