Description
The Aspen Strategy Group's Policy Books is an annual series of pieces written by contemporary thought leaders on the most pressing U.S. foreign policy and national security issues. This edition is a collection of papers commissioned for the 2014 Aspen Strategy Group Summer Workshop, in Aspen, Colorado. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Aspen Strategy Group (founded in 1984), the summer workshop convened a nonpartisan group of preeminent U.S.-Russia policy experts, academics, journalists, and business leaders. The group's policy discussions were guided by the papers in this volume, whose scope encompasses the history of the U.S.-Russia relationship, current developments in the Sino-Russian relationship, NATO and European responses to Russian aggression in Eastern Europe, energy considerations, areas of potential U.S.-Russia cooperation, and the broader question of U.S. national security and interests in the European region.

Originating in the 2014 Summer Workshop of the Aspen Strategy Group, this volume contains the main insights and ideas of leading thinkers regarding the unfolding of the Russian crisis, what it means for Americans, and how we should respond. Aiming to decipher the problem, Burns, Price, and their contributors put it in the larger European and global context and suggest ways for the U.S. to defend Western interests and preserve peace in the future. There are nine chapters divided into four parts: the Sixth Annual Ernest May Memorial Lecture; the world according to Putin; Putin’s world; the Ukraine crisis and beyond; Sino-Russian relations; the unconventional energy boom; advice for the Obama Administration on Putin, Russia, and Ukraine; Russia and the United States’ National interest (or reset version 2.0); Russia, the Ukraine crisis, and American national interests; concluding observations.
