Author: Thomas Graham (Council on Foreign...Title: Getting Russia RightBinding: HardcoverNumber Of Pages: 272Release Date: 0000-00-00Details: As US-Russian relations scrape the dep ths of cold-war antagonism, the promise of partnership that beguiled American administrations during the first post-Soviet decades increasingly appears to have been false from the start. Why did American leaders persist in pursuing it? Was there another path that would have produced more constructive relations or better prepared Washington to face the challenge Russia poses today?With a practitioner's eye honed during decades of work on Russian affairs, Thomas Graham deftly traces the evolution of opposing ideas of national purpose that created an inherent tension in relations. Getting Russia Right identifies the blind spots that prevented Washington from seeing Russia as it really is and crafting a policy to advance American interests without provoking an aggressive Russian response. Distilling the Putin factor to reveal the contours of the Russia challenge facing the United States whenever he departs the scene, Graham lays out a compelling way to deal with it so that the United States can continue to advance its interests in a rapidly changing world.EAN: 9781509556892Package Dimensions: Height: 9.098407 Inches, Length: 6.2992 Inches, Weight: 1.1500193434968 pounds, Width: 0.999998 Inches Show more
