This seminar will explore the current and future state of Russian-US relations. Despite the friendship between Presidents Putin and Bush, relations are increasingly tense. Nonetheless, areas of cooperation and potential cooperation still exist.

Do the two powers agree on the war on terror?

Can the US and Russia cooperate on the Iranian nuclear question?

What about European energy security?

What are the sources of Russian foreign policy? Will it change after Putin?
