Russia’s Reset Button
Mark Medish, a visiting scholar and senior adviser at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
We live in a complex moment in U.S. Russian relations. Much has a been made of Secretary of State Clinton’s mistranslation of the word “reset” as she spoke symbolically at her first meeting with Foreign Minister Lavrov. Even if the Obama administration can make progress on the oldest of all items in the U.S.-Russian agenda Arms control how much further improvement can take place in the relationship? Mark Medish, a visiting scholar and senior advisor at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace describes why the metaphor “reset” might not be the right notion for challenges that are more political and psychological than mechanical.

The Age of Lincoln
Vernon Burton author of The Age of Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln dominated his age but he was also a product of it. The restless, young country into which he was born was a confusion of great passions and ambitions. Religious fervor and a belief in human perfectibility were being tested as the country pushed westward. The expansion of slavery into the west infused politics with a great moral challenge. Award-winning Historian Vernon Burton describes an age that changed a nation.

Pakistan: Beyond the Swat Valley
Riaz Khan, former Foreign Secretary of Pakistan and William Milam, former U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan
President Obama has repeatedly said that Pakistan is the central front in the war against terrorism. Few believe we can succeed in Afghanistan if we don’t succeed in Pakistan, where many of those responsible for the 9/11 attacks now enjoy sanctuary. Washington has applauded the new vigor recently shown in the Swat Valley by the Pakistan army, but wonders whether it is sustainable. Robert Hathaway, Director of the Asia Program at the Wilson Center, speaks with Riaz Khan, former Foreign Secretary of Pakistan and William Milam, former U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, about the challenges that lie ahead in the region.
