Kennan Institute Annual Report 2005–2006 OVERVIEW he Kennan Institute was founded as a division of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in December 974 through the joint initiative of Ambassador TGeorge F. Kennan, then Wilson Center Director James Billington, and historian S. Frederick Starr. Named in honor of Ambassador Kennan’s relative, George Kennan “the Elder” (845–924), a nineteenth-century explorer of Russia and Siberia, the Kennan Institute is committed to improving American expertise and knowledge about Russia, Ukraine, and other states in the region. It is one of several area studies programs of the Wilson Center. The Center is an international, interdisciplinary scholarly institution that fosters scholarship in the humanities and social sciences and encourages dialogue between the disciplines and the professions. The director of the Kennan Institute reports to the director of the Woodrow Wilson Center and receives guidance from the Kennan Institute Advisory Council and the Kennan Council. The Kennan Institute offers residential research scholarships in the humanities and social sciences to academic scholars and specialists from government, the media, and the private sector. Thanks to its location in Washington, D.C., the Kennan Institute is able to provide its scholars with access to libraries, archives, research facilities, and human resources that are among the finest in the United States. Following in the tradition of the Wilson Center, the Institute also provides decision makers in the private and public sectors with access to the expertise of its scholars in residence through such activities as Policy Forums at the Department of State, its public lecture program, and interviews with the media. In addition to its residential scholar program, the Institute administers an active program of public lectures featuring scholars and public figures from the United States, Russia, and other successor states to the Soviet Union. The Institute makes the results of its activities known in a variety of publications including Meeting Reports, Occasional Papers, Special Reports, and commercially published books. The majority of Kennan Institute publications are available free of charge and are regularly distributed to individuals, university libraries, and companies throughout the world, and are available through the Internet.

The workshops bring together scholars with recent field experience from a variety of disciplines, with the goal of producing an original edited volume. The Kennan Institute and the ISE Center (Information. Scholarship. Education.), Moscow, administer the Centers for Advanced Study and Education (CASE) program. The CASE program has established nine thematic research centers at regional Russian universities. The CASEs support advanced research in the social sciences and humanities in Russia’s regions, build networks of scholars within Russia, and provide opportunities for the integration of Russian scholars into the international academic community. The CASE program is currently Kennan Institute Annual Report 2005–2006 3 DORMITION MONASTERY, CATHEDRAL funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur OF DORMITION & BELL TOWER, SOUTH Foundation, and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. VIEW, STARITSA, TVER OBLAST. (WILLIAM C. BRUMFIELD) In addition to its office in Washington, the Kennan Institute operates centers in Moscow and Kyiv. The Kennan Moscow Project and Kennan Kyiv Project provide on-the-ground assis- tance to the Washington staff and maintain contacts with various Russian and Ukrainian orga- nizations. The offices organize publications, seminars, and conferences on important current themes featuring Kennan Institute alumni. They serve as the core for Kennan’s Russian and Ukrainian alumni networks. The Kennan Institute, as part of the Woodrow Wilson Center, is a nonpartisan institution that values its independence from the world of politics. Unlike many academic research cen- ters, however, it seeks to promote dialogue between academic specialists and policymakers. To this end, the Institute convenes scholars, governmental specialists, and other experts to discuss political, social, and economic issues affecting Russia and the other successor states to the Soviet Union, seeking always to place these issues within their historical context. 4 Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars DIRECTOR’S REVIEW KENNAN INSTITUTE Reclaiming the Sacred ust a few months after the Soviet Union collapsed, a leading “Sovietologist” was invited by a group of even more distinguished Soviet-hands to imagine the “table of power” in the JKremlin a decade-and-a-half hence. Who would be at that table? The leaders of various democratic political parties? Women? Business leaders who competed with equal deftness with their western counterparts on the great global markets that would surely rule the world? The speaker began by observing that how people gathered around the table would be as important as who they were. Would members of this elite be elected? Alternatively, would they find their way to power via personal networks? Would they all be ethnic Russians or would there be a place at the table for representatives of other nationalities? Would women be in the room? Continuing on, he suggested that while the process was unclear, undoubtedly some of those present would be wearing expensive business suits, others would be wearing the uni- forms of various security and military forces, and others still would don clerical garb. The audience audibly gasped, and spent the evening trying to explain to the discussion leader that there would be no clerical garb at the Russian table of power. The Soviet Union had been an atheistic society and state, one that had been thoroughly secularized. In addition, the forces of a burgeoning global economy would propel others to the fore. Despite the role that religion might come to play in the private lives of individual Russian citizens, several in the room argued, there would be no public institutionalized religiosity in the former Soviet Union. Whatever aspects of Russian reality were illuminated that evening nearly fifteen years ago, even more light was shed on mainstream Washington, D.C. think-tanks. One simply did not speak of religion in polite company, especially when engaging in political analysis. How different the world—and Washington—seems today. Since the fall of communism in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries once part of the Soviet Union, religious affiliations and identities have experienced a rapid resurgence. Religion emerged as an affiliation of growing prominence against the post-99 background of new state formation, local authoritarianism, concerns over the meanings of democracy as well as the ethics of the new economy, and—in far too many instances—of poverty and war. An increasing number of people today look through the framework of religion in order to under- stand the world around them. In a region in flux, questions of religion are related to—though are by no means limited by—issues of national and international security. In fact,

  • Rosneft's Offshore Partnerships: the Re-Opening of the Russian
    140 Polar Record 49 (249): 140–153 (2013). c Cambridge University Press 2012. doi:10.1017/S0032247412000137 Rosneft’s offshore partnerships: the re-opening of the Russian petroleum frontier? Indra Overland and Jakub Godzimirski Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, PB 8159, Dept., 0033 Oslo, Norway ([email protected]) Lars Petter Lunden and Daniel Fjaertoft Sigra Group, Fagerheimgata 8, 0567 Oslo, Norway Received December 2011; first published online 2 April 2012 ABSTRACT. During an intense period of only 14 months, from June 2010 to August 2011, six major cooperation agreements between oil companies were announced in Russia. Almost all of these partnerships involved offshore projects, with an international oil company as one of the partners and Rosneft as the other. The agreements were concentrated along Russia’s Arctic petroleum frontier, and the three that survived the longest involved oil or gas extraction in the Arctic. This article analyses and compares the contents and contexts of the agreements, to ascertain what they have to tell about access for international companies to Russia’s offshore petroleum resources and the influence of competing Russian political actors over the country’s petroleum sector. The article argues that the new partnerships did represent an intention to open up the Russian continental shelf, and that the agreements were driven and shaped by a series of needs: to secure foreign capital and competence, to reduce exploration risk, to lobby for a better tax framework, to show the government that necessary action was being taken to launch exploration activities, to improve Rosneft’s image abroad, and either to avert or prepare for future privatisation of state companies such as Rosneft.

  • Money Won't Make You Rich
    In a culture where materialism has driven the global village of man- kind to the brink of inhumanity, this work is a breath of fresh air and relief to the collective psyche of our generation. Sunday hits a home run again, and in light of the demise of the global economic system built on unbridled greed, this subject is timely and necessary. —DR. MYLES MUNROE BFM INTERNATIONAL, NASSAU, BAHAMAS Pastor Sunday is a humble, prayerful, and powerful apostle who is mightily impacting the world through raising up and releasing spir- itual sons and daughters to plant explosive churches that move in the spirit of faith to touch heaven and change Earth. —PAUL DAVIS WORLDWIDE MINISTER AND AUTHOR OF GOD VS. RELIGION Pastor Sunday Adelaja gives us so much to think about in his new book. It will force you to think in a new way and then take action. —PAT WILLIAMS SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, ORLANDO MAGIC In his latest book, Money Wont Make You Rich, Pastor Sunday Adela- ja skillfully lays a solid foundation addressing the morality of earning, sharing, saving, and spending money like a wise master builder. All the while he places top priority on the advancement of God’s kingdom as the proper place to lay up treasure. Each chapter builds toward a rewarding crescendo, teaching its readers how to systematically reach financial freedom by hard work and wise investing as they use the in- dex of character and spiritual wisdom as the pillars to build on. Pastor Sunday has done a marvelous job of teaching the readers how to re- alize freedom from serving money or from allowing it to control our lives.
