The U.S. and Russian Interventions in Syria Room for Cooperation or Prelude to Greater Conflict?

The Working Group on the Future of U.S.-Russia Relations convenes rising experts from leading American and Russian institutions to tackle the thorniest issues in the bilateral relationship. By engaging the latest generation of scholars in face-to-face discussion and debate, we aim to generate innovative analysis and policy recommendations that better reflect the common ground between the United States and Russia that is so often obscured by mistrust. We believe our unique, truly bilateral approach offers the best potential for breakthroughs in mutual understanding and reconciliation between our countries.

The Working Group is a project of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University on the U.S. side and of the National Research University–Higher School of Economics in Russia.

The Working Group on the Future of U.S.-Russia Relations gratefully acknowledges the support of Carnegie Corporation of New York, the MacArthur Foundation, and Mr. John Cogan toward the costs of Working Group activities, including production of this report.
