فهم روسيا بشكل صحيح

As US-Russian relations descend to Cold War levels of hostility, the promise of partnership that enticed US administrations during the first decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union appears false from the start. Why did American leaders insist on following him? Was there another path that would yield more constructive relations or better prepare Washington to meet the challenge posed by Russia today? Through practical experience gained over decades of work on Russian affairs, Thomas Graham brilliantly traces the development of conflicting ideas about national purpose that created an inherent tension in the relationship. Getting Russia Right identifies the weaknesses that have prevented Washington from seeing Russia for what it is and formulating a policy that advances American interests without provoking an aggressive Russian response. By analyzing Putin's role to reveal the contours of the Russian challenge facing the United States whenever he is absent from the scene, Graham offers a compelling way to deal with him so that the United States can continue to advance its interests in a rapidly changing world.
