Natalia Kolotukhina

Academic Year: 
2004-05
Direction: 
To Yale
Exchange Partners: 
Moscow State University
Research Interest: 
Perceptions of A New World Order At the Turn of the 19Th Century

As a Fox Fellow, Ms. Kolotukhina will examine the numerous international relations theories which seek to explain the post Cold War international system. She wants to know what, if any, impact these theories have had on real life politics. The goal of her research is to create one more building block for the foundation of good US-Russian relations. A better understanding of each others intentions lessens tension and helps to increase the level of confidence between two nations and encourages international stability. At Yale, she is especially interested in taking part in the programs of the International Security Studies Center and in consulting with Professors Paul Kennedy and Professor John Lewis Gaddis.
