Relations between NATO/EU and Russia have recovered following the Georgia conflict in August 2008. However, this has not led to a paradigm shift in relations. Moscow continues to advocate revisions to aspects of European security governance and has put forward proposals for a legally-binding European Security Treaty; Washington and Brussels have little appetite for such far-reaching change and affirm that NATO and the EU, founded on common values, should endure. This article examines ways in which the West might engage a Russia, which is seeking a greater say in European and global affairs, and sponsor an external environment which helps its modernization program.
