Jeffrey Burds Memorial Speaker Series: Peter Richardson
Peter Richardson of Northeastern presents No War, No Peace, No Incentives: Political, Economic & Strategic Inertia in Russian-Japanese Reconciliation in the Putin Era. Russia and Japan have never signed a treaty formally ending the Second World War, chiefly because of the dispute over the southern Kuril Islands. The history department and the College of Social Sciences and Humanities hold the series in memory of the late Professor Jeffrey Burds.
