This
project is an attempt to envision what the pathways animating Russia’s
decline could look like; identify the forces, attitudes, and ideas
driving them; and describe the possible contingencies that could emerge
along the pathways to a range of possible alternative destinations. It
seeks to reveal how potential downside scenarios might unfold, the
dynamics that could power them, the critical uncertainties whose
resolution might push scenarios in different directions, and the
possible wildcards that might radically, rapidly, and unpredictably
alter the shape and movement of the competitive landscape, as well as
the motivations and strategies of different actors.
The
project’s analyses and products will appear on this Jamestown
Foundation website. The papers by Russian experts are the first such
postings. We further envision compiling these materials in a single
volume, as well as several smaller, focused analyses on particular
aspects of Russia’s decline, with appropriate contextual analysis and
synthetic assessment. The final volume will be published by The
Jamestown Foundation.
