The Commission on

America’s National Interests and Russia

The Commission on America’s National Interests and Russia is an outgrowth of the Commission on America’s National Interests, a group of Americans convinced that U.S. global leadership is essential in the 21st century and concerned that this leadership could suffer in the absence of clear priorities.  The previous Commission’s Reports in 1996 and 2000 sought to focus thinking on defining American national interests in the world. The current Commission addresses the specific issue of American national interests and Russia.

The Final Report of this new Commission will be issued next spring in an effort to inform debate during U.S. presidential and congressional campaigns. In light of the recent U.S.–Russian conflict over Iraq, the Commission has issued an Interim Report addressing more immediate challenges in the U.S.–Russian relationship. The Commission is supported by Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and The Nixon Center.
