Snowden, Syria and Sochi in the U.S.-Russia Relationship

The Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE) held a discussion yesterday to launch Angela Stent’s new book, The Limits of Partnership: U.S.-Russian Relations in the Twenty-First Century (Princeton Press) in which she explores U.S.-Russian relations since the Soviet Union’s collapse and the challenges ahead. Why has it been so difficult to move the relationship forward? And is there any prospect for changes in the future? Stent, a nonresident senior fellow at Brookings and Georgetown University professor, joined Brookings President Strobe Talbott, CUSE Director Fiona Hill, and Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for the New York Times, to discuss the “limits” of the U.S.-Russia partnership.
