U.S.-Russia Relations: A New Cold War? Thurs., Nov. 16

U.S.-Russia Relations: A New Cold War?: PUB 9208
Thurs., Nov. 16: 7-8:30pm
U.S.-Russian relations seem to have reached a low point since the end of the Cold War in 1990. Confrontations in Europe and the Middle East and accusations of Russian meddling in U.S. elections have produced a “tenuous” bilateral relationship. Is it the new/old normal?

Speaker: Dr. Bradley J. Murg, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Director of Global Development Studies, Seattle Pacific University; and faculty member at The Ellison Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies.
