U.S.-Russia Relations
Participants in the U.S.-Russia-Japan Trilateral Conference address a public audience following the proceedings.
Professor Ivan Safranchuk and Thomas Graham discuss political, diplomatic and security developments in Ukraine, the Middle East and beyond.
U.S.-Russian relations are at their lowest ebb since the end of the Cold War. Cooperation in concluding a nuclear deal with Iran has not had a beneficial impact on overall relations. Nevertheless, the United States and Russia share common interests in maintaining security in Europe, Eurasia, South Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere. NCAFP projects and programs related to Russia explore the challenges and opportunities in U.S.-Russia relations and the geopolitical implications of recent developments in Ukraine and Syria.
Recent events have included a panel discussion of Russia in a changing energy environment and a conversation between American and Russian experts on challenges to the existing liberal global order.
Yoichi Kato offers remarks as Dr. Stephen Noerper, Ambassador Gleb Ivashentsov and Professor Matake Kamiya look on.
