Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins and the DGAP’s program on Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia at the DGAP’s Robert Bosch Center for Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia.
The Center for Transatlantic Relations and the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP), together with the Robert Bosch Foundation, have launched this initiative to recommend ways to build Western consensus on policy toward Russia and the other countries of the post-Soviet realm.
