Project Title

For StratBase

Date

Dec. 12, 2024

Duration

24 months

Description

For U.S. policy towards Russia to be effective, it must be grounded in an accurate understanding of Russian strategic capabilities and interests. Improving the accuracy of U.S. policy is complicated both by the distinct culture and foundations of Russian foreign policy making, as well as the West’s own analytical biases. Project StratBase aims to address these twin challenges by introducing collaborative research principles from advanced scientific disciplines in combination with cutting edge research tools like data analytics, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing models.With Corporation support, StratBase will initiate three research modules related to Russia’s war in Ukraine, its contemporary relations with China, and comparative perspectives on the future of Euro-Atlantic Security architecture. The project will result ininternational collaborative research, creation of new tools and datasets to study Russia, briefings to policymakers, and academic and policy publications.

Project Title

For broadening understanding of Russia’s foreign policy

Date

Mar. 10, 2022

Duration

29 months

Description

It is essential that the United States ground its policies toward Russia in a sound understanding of Russian foreign policy drivers and interests. Such a task is made difficult by the extensive range of Russian foreign policy activity, including the use of diplomacy, coercion, and force across a variety of domains. Indeed, in many instances, Russian foreign policy has been mercurial: responding in differentdomains than those that have beeninitially expected. The proposed project will continue to analyze general trends in motivation, rhetoric, and behavior (principles, strategy, action) associated with Russia’s approach to exercising international power and influence across time, domains (military, information, energy, international institutions/governance), and regions (the United States, European Union, Ukraine, and the Middle East). With continued support, emphasis will be placed on bringing together American, European, and Russian experts to discuss how best to evaluate Russian behavior empirically.
