Risky Business Needed Between EU, US, and Russia

Rose Gottemoeller, Carnegie Moscow Center | August 28, 2008

The agenda for cooperation with Russia looks doubtful but safe havens for cooperation still exist. ++ For instance, the entire civil and military nuclear agenda opens room for diplomacy. ++ However, no single European institution is perfectly suited to working on security arrangements. ++ At this highly charged moment, the best choice may be to turn to the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. ++ Another idea is the creation of a short-term bilateral presidential commission which would be risky but could potentially have a big payoff.
