A Book Talk with Professor Danielle Lussier, Political Science
Tuesday, March 14, 4:15 p.m., Burling Lounge
Drawing from her recently-published book, Constraining Elites in Russia and Indonesia: Political Participation and Regime Survival (Cambridge University Press, 2016), Professor Danielle Lussier will share a thought-provoking analysis on why democracy succeeds in some countries but not others, comparing the post-transition experiences of two cases of contemporary democratization: Russia and Indonesia.
Danielle Lussier is an assistant professor in political science and department chair of Russian, Central, and East European Studies at ΢ÃÜÆƽâ. Her research focuses on democratization, public opinion and political participation, and religion and politics, with a particular emphasis on Eurasia and Indonesia.
For this book, Professor Lussier conducted field research in Moscow, Kazan, and Krasnoyarsk, Russia and Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Medan, Indonesia. Co-sponsored by the Russian, Central and East European Studies concentration and the ΢ÃÜÆƽâ Libraries.
Refreshments will be served.
΢ÃÜÆƽâ welcomes the participation of people with disabilities. If you plan to attend this event and need accommodation, please contact Burling Library as soon as possible to make your request.
