20 Years After the Fall: The U.S. and Russia in the Post-Soviet World
Exploring topics like energy, nationalism, international terrorism, geopolitical rivalries, nuclear security, and even world peace, American Security Project experts describe the last twenty years of change in global politics and how it affects U.S. foreign policy. By taking a step back and examining these issues, the American Security Project is helping to refine long-term thinking about topics in foreign policy, and encouraging strategic debate about where our country is headed.

ASP Fellow Joshua Foust said:
“It is amazing to think that, 20 years after the end of the Cold War, we still define our foreign policy largely by absence: the Post-Cold War world. Through these essays, a strange mix of continuity and disruptive change emerges; if nothing else, I’m left amazed at how resilient our policies really are over time.”
