SUMMARY:The Effect of Sanctions on Russia’s Natural Resources Revenues after February 2022
DESCRIPTION:Elliott School of International Affairs | In-Person Event  \nDescription: When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022\, the West imposed a range of sanctions on Russia’s natural-resource exports in an attempt to constrain its ability to wage war. In this talk\, Delgerjargal Uvsh will examine the nature of these sanctions and how they have affected Russia’s state budget and the fiscal trade-offs the government has had to make. Her talk will also discuss how sanctions have affected Russia’s state-business relations and economic development\, drawing on her previous work on how Russia has historically dealt with declines in oil and gas revenues as well as new data on government revenues and expenditures. Dr. Delgerjargal Uvsh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies\, with courtesy appointments to the Department of Government and LBJ School of Public Affairs\, at the University of Texas at Austin. A native of Mongolia\, she conducts research and teaches on when and how positive changes in state-business relations\, political regimes\, and environmental and economic policies happen in post-Soviet countries. Her current book project\, Reversal of the Resource Curse? Negative Revenue Shocks and Economic Development in Russia and Beyond\, examines how resource-rich countries deal with negative revenue shocks (declines in their natural resource revenues) and when these shocks lead to improvements in state-business relations in Russia\, Central Asia\, and Mongolia. In other work\, she studies the dynamics of democratic transition and consolidation in Mongolia. Delgerjargal received her Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Gaston Sigur Memorial Lecture: The Future of American Policy Towards Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:Elliott School of International Affairs | In-Person Event  \nDescription: The lecture will analyze broad trends in the US approach to Southeast Asia and the drivers of these trends in the context of global and regional developments. These developments include\, but are not confined to\, US-China strategic competition. It will suggest that American policy toward Southeast Asia and the region’s responses may offer clues to developing the broader Indo-Pacific. About the Speaker – Bilahari Kausikan is a Singaporean academic and retired diplomat. He was Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the former ambassador to the UN and Russia. Bilahari is currently Chairman of the Middle East Institute at the National University of Singapore. Bilahari Kausikan joined the civil service in 1981. He was appointed as Singapore’s ambassador to the newly formed Russian Federation in 1994\, and subsequently as ambassador to the United Nations (1995 – 1998). Bilahari was appointed Second Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2001\, and promoted to Permanent Secretary in 2010. After a 37-year career in Singapore’s foreign relations\, Bilahari is known to speak his mind about the issues confronting the country and the wider region. He believes the civil service has become too accommodative and argues that ‘when you are polite\, nothing gets done.’ He has called for Singapore to be more muscular in its own delicate diplomatic relations\, saying that true neutrality means ‘knowing your own interests\, taking positions based on your own interests and not allowing others to define your interests for you by default’. Furthermore\, he warns of the danger of passivity in relation to the current US-China split\, saying there is no ‘sweet spot’ to keep both the Chinese and Americans ‘happy’. Bilahari studied political science at the University of Singapore before receiving a scholarship to embark on a PhD in international relations at Columbia University. However\, he decided against an academic career and returned to Singapore to join the Foreign Ministry. He is the author of Singapore is Not an Island: Views on Singapore Foreign Policy (2017). \nThe registration link can be found below.
