The Us-Russia Relations After The “Reset”: Pragmatism Or A New Confrontation?
The US-Russia relations are entering a new political season in a shape which is far from being perfect. The “reset” is over, and throughout the years 2011 and especially 2012 the relations have worsened again. Political leadership of both countries is irritated and disappointed with each other. Unlike the last four years, neither Russia nor the US will invest much political capital in their relations improvement, and their relative priority will decrease in both countries’ foreign policies. The share of contradictions in the relations surpasses that of positive cooperation again. Yet, the paper argues, a new worsening of the US-Russia relations or their new stagnation over the next years is in neither side’s interests. The US and Russia still do have an important positive agenda to work on, which is crucial for both sides’ vital national interests. It includes, above all, Afghanistan and the Asia Pacific. The major impediment of progress on both dimensions, the author claims, will be in the near- and middle term future a lack of political will on both sides to move the relations forward.

Структурные изменения мирового порядка идут рука об руку с глобальным формированием нового баланса, в котором США и КНР будут стремиться к доминированию. Несмотря на то, что с 1970-х гг. отношения сторон во многом носили взаимовыгодный характер, в последние годы степень неопределенности и конфликтности в отношениях Америки и Китая резко возросла. Авторы доклада проводят комплексный анализ ...
