Security matters have not yielded much. On issues such as the expansion of NATO, stabilizing Yugoslavia and the war in Chechnya, Washington and Moscow have sought each other's tolerance more than cooperation. Nor have the two nations developed much economic interaction, as a result of Russia's weak institutions and faltering economy. Thus, by default, 'energy' has become the new special topic in Russian-American relations." (FOREIGN AFFAIRS) This article discusses the new energy cooperation between the United States and Russia, while noting that despite their cooperation there is little that these "two governments can do to influence the global energy market or even investment in Russia's oil sector."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
