Land use, local elections and citizen participation processes work differently in Russia than the US. While it is well known that Russia has an authoritarian and highly corrupt government, there is little public discussion in the US about how these problems affect local concerns, such as urban planning, the allocation of municipal property, and citizen participation processes. Robert Orttung will provide an overview of current practices in Russia as compared with the U.S. Robert Orttung is the assistant director of the Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at The George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs and a Research Associate Professor of International Affairs. He is the author or editor of several books on current affairs in Russia as well as commentary published in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
