Abstract:

The U.S. must develop a policy for the entire region of the former Soviet Union, and not for Russia alone. In short, the U.S. needs a Eurasian policy--one that recognizes the singular importance of Russia, but which nonetheless does not lose sight of the larger regional context governing such issues as democratization, market reforms, and arms proliferation in the successor states of the former Soviet Union.
