Description

This edited collection examines the future of United States-Russian relations. Bringing together scholars from the U.S. and Russia, the volume explores the means for enhancing bilateral cooperation between the two countries, identifying potential opportunities and strategies for solving global problems and regional conflicts. A central premise of the work is that global security and economic prosperity can be enhanced by American and Russian cooperative engagement and that mutual collaboration is imperative in the post-Cold War era. The contributing experts assess prospects for improving diplomatic, military, economic, environmental, and technological cooperation between the U.S. and the post-Soviet state.

Reviews

"(This) is an important and useful book which could not have been written in a more appropriate moment in history. It is a valuable contribution to the field of international studies, presenting a comprehensive analysis of the most relevant and important issues concerning U.S.-Russian relations. There is hardly any major angle of the Russian-U.S. relationship that is not dealt with in this monograph. It is also a brilliant example of fruitful cooperation of Russian and American scholars."-Georgiy I. Mirsky, Professor and Senior Research Fellow Institute of World Economy and International Relations Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow
