Getting Russia Right (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace)
"Dmitri Trenin distills an enormous amount of wisdom in this concise, well written book. Russia matters, and the West needs to view it as an emerging capitalist society rather than a failed democratic polity. Property rights, a new middle class, and integration into world markets promise a way forward. Everyone interested in Russia should read this excellent book." —Joseph S. Nye, Jr., Harvard University,Harvard University"It is a pleasure to read a serious analysis by a Russian of contemporary Russia and its foreign policy that is not distorted by at best thinly veiled imperial nostalgia. One can agree with Trenin on many points and disagree also on many, but throughout one knows that one is dealing with a serious interlocutor, seriously concerned about the future of his important country--and who in some ways foreshadows the kind of elite that eventually will take Russia into the democratic West." —Zbigniew Brzezinski, Center for Strategic and International Studies
