This paper addresses the relationship between the West and Russia at the end of President Vladimir Putin’s second term. The author reviews the relationship since the end of the Cold War, identifying, energy, defense, the hardening of values and the changing Russian political system as critical issues. He argues that cooperation is possible over the longer term if the West can shift Russia’s focus to its own demographic, social and resource-related vulnerabilities.
