Pressing That Re-set Button: Shared Interests,
Competing Values, and U.S.-Russian Relations
The Century Foundation is pleased to invite you to a luncheon roundtable on Monday, 22 June 2009, to discuss where U.S. policy toward Russia might go, entitled Pressing That Re-set Button: Shared Interests, Competing Values, and U.S.-Russia Relations.
As the Obama administration redirects U.S. policy on many fronts, the President’s declaration of a fresh start for relations between the United States and Russia has significant implications for the management of many critical issues. The June 22 roundtable will assess the direction of policy under the new administration in the week ahead of President Obama’s visit to Moscow, and it will explore the challenges and opportunities the two countries face on issues of mutual and global concern.
Leading the discussion will be:
· Jack F. Matlock, Jr., George F. Kennan Professor, Institute for Advanced Study and former U.S. ambassador to the USSR; co-chair, Century Foundation Working Group on U.S. Policy toward Russia
· Thomas Graham, Senior Director, Kissinger Associates and former Senior Director for Russia, National Security Council; author of Century Foundation report “Resurgent Russia and U.S. Purposes”
· Sarah E. Mendelson, Director, Human Rights and Security Initiative and Senior Fellow, Russia and Eurasia Program, Center for Strategic and International Studies; author of Century Foundation report “U.S.-Russian Relations and the Democracy Deficit” Moderating the discussion will be Susan Eisenhower, President of the Eisenhower Group.
We will be pleased if you can join us on Monday, 22 June from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. at the National Press Club, 529 14th Street, NW, 13th Floor, Washington, DC. Kindly RSVP to smyth@tcf.org and feel free to direct any questions to Hummy Song at (212) 452-7704.
