Cuba in 2050
A collection of research, statistics and other relevant information to help us paint a picture of Cuba in 2005. The emphasis is on the structure of Cuba's economy and political system, relations with the United States and, stemming from those factors, its economic growth and political stability.
China at War?
Will China become a major aggressor in the coming decades? Focusing on developments in China's international relations, cultural influences, economic and political stability, and demographic trends, we will attempt to predict if, when and where China would engage. The goal of this project is to identify landmarks that will highlight China's trajectory now and in the future.
The People's Nepal
As Nepal attempts to rework democratic institutions, we question what form of governance will consolidate and if it will be stable.
Russian Power
What will become of Russian politics? Under Putin, it has struggled to emerge from its authoritarian past, and seems at times to be reverting to a less liberal framework. What economic, ethnic, and even epidemic challenges will confront the nation, and how will Russia respond?
Global AIDS
Perhaps the most ambitious project, the Global AIDS project follows the path of the epidemic and considers the consequences of its contagion. National projects (such as Botswana's Curse) debate the issues related to AIDS in the specific national context, oriented towards examining policy implications.
