Over the past year, CGI’s inaugural Rising Experts Program focused on the theme “Beyond Cold-War Thinking: New Approaches to U.S.-Russia Relations in a Global Context.” This program brought together advanced students and young practitioners in the Washington area to identify ways in which U.S.-Russian engagement can be directed toward addressing emerging global challenges. The program featured guest speakers with participants meeting once a month to discuss a wide range of issues related to the theme and to share their own research on the topic.
In its latest publication, CGI presents a selection of capstone essays by graduates of the 2014-2015 Rising Experts Program.
