“Spatial Dimensions of Contentious Politics in Eurasia,” a lecture by Mark Beissinger

This talk will examine the contentious politics of Eurasia since 1900, highlighting the ways in which oppositions have utilized space in their efforts to contest regimes, and how regimes have sought to counter them through tactics of spatial control. It will elucidate how and why these interactions have evolved over time, transforming the physiognomy of cities and the tactics deployed by regimes and oppositions.
