Professor Brian Taylor of the Maxwell School at Syracuse University visited the National Security Affairs Department recently to meet with students and faculty as part of the department’s Global Connections Speaker Series.  Dr. Taylor, a Professor of Political Science who specializes in Russian politics, met with students in Professor David Yost’s Seminar on European Security Issues and also gave a talk to about 40 students and faculty members on “The Code of Putinism.” In that talk, he discussed how Vladimir Putin sees the world and makes decisions and argued that Putinism can be thought of as a “code,” which influences the way the Russian regime approaches politics, economics, and foreign policy.  NSA Department Professor Erik Dahl said, “With so many important security issues involving Russia today, this was a very timely and fascinating visit.”
