"The American and Russian Economies in Moments of Crisis : A Geopolitical Study in Parallel", By Sir Basil Markesinis ( Policy Brief no. 19, November 2009, International Centre for Black Sea Studies

This Policy Brief compares the American and Russian economies during a period of global economic and financial crisis and attempts to assess their respective strengths and weaknesses. It also assesses the ways in which the two powers have reacted to common challenges. In doing so, it tries to suggest another way of comparing the two economies namely, by focusing on a certain convergence in the way these two different systems are handling the same crisis.
