The Long View
With U.S.-Russia relations at a delicate crossroads, Carnegie convened a group of former ambassadors to Russia and the United States who urged Washington and Moscow to make every effort to relieve the immediate tensions surrounding the unstable situation in the Caucasus. In a joint statement, published in the International Herald Tribune, they outlined steps to help both governments work together more effectively on key issues of mutual interest, including arms control, Euro–Atlantic regional security, terrorism, and financial issues. | MORE >

 Saudi Arabia’s increasing use of unconventional, “soft” measures to combat violent extremism is bearing positive results and leading others in the region, including the United States in Iraq, to adopt a similar approach. Christopher Boucek explains that understanding the successes of the Saudi strategy—composed of prevention, rehabilitation, and aftercare programs—will be important in the fight against radical Islamist extremism.
 In a region defined by instability, indirect talks between Syria and Israel offer hope for a peace deal that could help bring stability. Carnegie's Paul Salem and Daniel Levy of the New America Foundation discussed the two countries’ intentions and attitudes towards reaching a peace deal, and the crucial mediating role for the U.S. in the process.

Carnegie Europe serves as an active forum for senior European policy makers, think-tanks, scholars, and journalists across Europe. Through public events and high-level consultations, Carnegie Europe brings fresh perspectives from Carnegie's global and regional centers to the European foreign policy debate.
Coinciding with Carnegie Europe's two-day conference this week, Post-Bush America and the World, the Center is pleased to offer a redesigned website that integrates its growing body of work with Carnegie's library of original analysis and commentary.

 The U.S.-India civilian nuclear cooperation agreement was approved by the U.S. Congress this week. Ashley J. Tellis explains in Forbes that attempts to put restrictions on the deal in the future would prompt New Delhi to turn to foreign suppliers whose nuclear policies are more liberal than Washington's.
Carnegie experts endeavor to prioritize the list of severe challenges facing the next U.S. President, separating good ideas from dead ends and going beyond widely agreed goals to describe how to achieve them.
