December 2023 was a busy month for the scholars at PONARS Eurasia, who published five new policy memos on:
- Cossacks as a Case Study of Russia’s Paramilitarization

Hosted by the Elliott School’s Institute for European Russian and Eurasian Studies (IERES), the Program on New Approaches to Research and Security in Eurasia (PONARS Eurasia) is a network of over 140 academics, mainly from North America and post-Soviet Eurasia. PONARS scholars advance new approaches to research on security, politics, economics, and society in Russia and Eurasia. The program aims to connect scholarship to policy on and in Russia and Eurasia and to foster a community, especially of mid-career and rising scholars, committed to developing policy-relevant and collaborative research.
