Join PONARS Eurasia at the Elliott School of International Affairs for the launch of the eighth paper of the Working Group on the Future of U.S.-Russia Relations. This paper focuses on the ways in which the United States and Russia could play a coordinated and positive role in maintaining the sustainability of the world economic order that nowadays faces one of the strongest transformations in modern history.

Globalization has grown rapidly since World War II, but its foundations are fragile. Income inequality has risen in nearly every country of the world, and a groundswell of national populism reflects that. The fragmentation of the world economy into more regionalized trading blocs will affect the United States and Russia differently, and the effects on their relations with each other are uncertain. So long as American and European sanctions are in place, the prospects for U.S.-Russia economic cooperation in a deglobalizing world are limited.
