New Challenges and “Old Business with Russia”: A Revival of an Idea of “Competitive Coexistence”

Abstract

The chapter presents a very general overview of the new (2010) United States–Russia nukes reduction treaty and a brief analysis of the failure of the UN conference on climate change in Copenhagen (2009). The revival of the term of “competitive coexistence” as a description of United States–Russia relations is discussed. The author also suggests that present-day China–India relations can be considered as an example of the newly emerged version of a regime of “competitive coexistence.”
