Project Summary

Kassianova's project, Russian Defense Industrial Complex as Political Actor: Domestic and International Implications aims to assess the political role of Russia's defense industrial complex caught in tension between the increasing state control and market imperatives. It will look into the development of the industry to map out the range of interests, the channels of their representation, and the impact of these interests in the context of Russia's domestic political processes and international strategies.
