Join NYU's Jordan Center for another virtual meeting of the New York-Russia Public Policy Seminar. This panel is being co-hosted by Columbia University’s Harriman Institute, the New York University Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia, and the Program on New Approaches to Research and Security in Eurasia (PONARS Eurasia).

In the wake of the U.S. presidential election, join the Jordan Center for a discussion involving academic and policy perspectives from the U.S., Russia and Europe on the future of the bilateral relationship. Is the U.S. election a genuine potential turning point and what priority will the upcoming administration give to relations with Russia? If relations cannot be fully “reset,” then how can they best be managed and what are the main interests of both sides? What are the enduring mutual (mis)perceptions and frames that limit the ability to conduct dialogue and nurture mutual resentment? Is the bilateral relationship still important to the changing international world order, or has it been bypassed by other forms of great power competition and transnational dynamics?
