The Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective's inaugural roundtable focuses on the modern role of Russia in the world system today, highlighting the constellation of local, regional, hemispheric, and global forces that shape Russia's place in the world.  Three central questions guide the discussion: What structural relations define Russia's position in the world today?  How do these relations unfold at local, regional and inter-continental levels?  What is Russia's relationship to the Global Majority? Panelists discuss these questions and more.
