'... a useful addition to the long list of volumes in the BASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European studies... She has in mind three on-going dialogues.

She brings to that discussion an impressive effort to interview an array of American, European, and Russian foreign policy experts and/or policy makers.' William Zimmerman, University of Michigan, Emeritus, Slavic Review
