8.01: Maritime Security Dialogue: A Conversation with Admiral Karl Schultz, Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard
Admiral Karl Schultz, the 26th Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, joined CSIS for a Maritime Security Dialogue to discuss the Coast Guard’s security role in the United States and around the world and his vision for the Coast Guard’s future in United States defense policy.
8.01: The Code of Putinism: Book Launch Event
In the new book The Code of Putinism, Brian Taylor argues that we can only understand Putin’s Russia if we understand the set of ideas, emotions, and habits that influence how Team Putin views the world. Key features of Russian politics today — such as increasing authoritarianism, Putin’s reliance on a small group of loyal friends and associates, state domination of the economy, and an assertive foreign policy — are traced to the worldview and mindset of Putin and his close associates. CSIS hosted the book launch for The Code of Putinism and discussed how Russia’s future policies will continue to be shaped by these ideas, emotions, and habits.
