Незаменимые институты: Комиссия Обамы — Медведева и пятьдесят лет американо-российского диалога (L)

After the "reset" began, Russian-American relations, which worsened in 2008 as never before in their history, improved again. In his new brochure, Matthew Rozhansky analyzes the results of the first year of work of the bilateral Russian-American Presidential Commission, created at the initiative of Presidents Obama and Medvedev to promote high-level interaction between the two countries and achieve concrete practical results. The Commission has already been able to demonstrate impressive achievements — in particular, in the implementation of joint counter-terrorism measures and the preparation of new binding agreements in the field of arms control and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons — but in order to ensure a sustainable positive change in relations between the two countries, officials must show constant attention to its activities and the necessary flexibility.
