From 27 – 30 June, The Foreign Policy Centre held four policy briefings under the rubric 'A Blueprint for Russia.' The briefings explored political change in Russia as it affects three key policy areas: law and the abuse of power, the economy and business confidence and politics and pluralism in Russia through the expertise of Karinna Moskalenko and Professor William Butler, Andrei Klepach and Gabriel Stein as well as Maria Lipman and Dr. Alex Pravda. The final briefing was for journalists and featured the expertise of Dr. Alex Pravda and Professor Margot Light, who explored possible themes for Russia's upcoming presidency of the G-8.

In collaboration with many of the speakers, and several other contributors, including Mikhail Kasyanov, the former Prime Minister of Russia, The Foreign Policy Centre is currently creating a pamphlet entitled 'A Blueprint for Russia'.
