Please join us for a discussion with
Nicholas Eberstadt (AEI) on the critical implications for Russia's internal stability and future security outlook posed by the country's continuing population challenges.

Joining and contributing to the discussion will be S. Enders Wimbush (Hudson Institute) and Fiona Hill (Brookings Institution). Roy Kamphausen (NBR) will serve as moderator.

BACKGROUND ON THE TOPIC

Russia's demographic trends portend a crisis of alarming proportions for the country's future human and social capital, as explicated in grave detail in the NBR Report Russia's Peacetime Demographic Crisis: Dimensions, Causes, Implications (May 2010) by Nicholas Eberstadt. Describing Russia's depopulation trend as "nothing short of a humanitarian catastrophe," Eberstadt paints a compellingly grim picture of Russia's future demographic profile, which has serious implications for the country's domestic policy priorities as well as for the country's ambitions to regain a preeminent position on the world geopolitical stage. Indeed, Eberstadt's report leads one to question the very viability of Russia as a resurgent power of the 21st century.
