Latest Event - "New Transatlantic Perspectives On Russia"
The latest seminar in The Russia Foundation's 2008 programme is a roundtable event which will provide an opportunity for senior politicians, commentators, analysts and experts to explore the impact of the new US administration on western policy towards Russia. Questions addressed will include the following:
▪ How is US policy towards Russia likely to change under the new US President?
▪ Will the change of administration in Washington promote greater convergence of Transatlantic policy towards Russia?
▪ Will NATO enlargement remain a dividing line between the US and its European allies?
▪ Is there scope for greater Transatlantic cooperation on issues like energy security
The event will take place in London on 11th November 2008, for further details please contact:
