He writes on international political economy, Russia, the emerging multipolar world order, and the political economy of refugees. His first book, Culture, Political Economy and Civilisation in a Multipolar World Order: The Case of Russia, will be published by Routledge in Fall, 2016.

Research Interest
Dr. Ray Silvius interested in changes within the global political economy brought about by rising non-Western political economies. I utilize a heterodox and historical approach to International Relations and International Political Economy to examine how ideas about culture and civilization constitute contemporary Russian state projects, non-Western regional political and economic architectures, and post-Western conceptions of the global political economy.
