Russia and the United States are the most important countries for
many vital security issues. They possess the worlds largest nuclear
weapons arsenals, are involved in the principal regional conflicts,
and have lead roles in opposing international terrorism and weapons
proliferation. Despite persistent differences on many questions,
mutual interests consistently drive Russians and Americans to work
together to overcome these impediments. This Adelphi paper argues
that opportunities for improving further security cooperation
between Russia and the United States exist but are limited.
Near-term results in the areas of formal arms control or ballistic
missile defences are unlikely. The two governments should focus on
improving and expanding their joint threat reduction and
nonproliferation programmes, enhancing their military-to-military
dialogue regarding Central Asia and defence industrial cooperation,
and deepening their antiterrorist cooperation, both bilaterally and
through NATO. Using more market incentives, expanding reciprocity
and equal treatment, and limiting the adverse repercussions from
disputes over Iran would facilitate progress. Russia and the United
States will not soon become close allies, but they should be able
to achieve better security ties given that, on most issues, their
shared interests outweigh those that divide them.
