India’s May 1998 nuclear tests served as a wake-up call to the U.S. strategic community—India was rising. Progress in the relationship, both in terms of economic and security ties, can sometimes feel slow. But over these last twenty years, the U.S. has risen to become India’s most important economic and strategic partner—and India is becoming increasingly important to American interests, too. On May 14, we will explore those early days as the U.S. and India planted the seeds for a more robust partnership. Our expert speakers will assess progress, and offer thoughts as to where the relationship may head next, and how policymakers can bring it to life.

In the spirit of history, Russian literature, and other things the CSIS Russia team holds dear, we bring you a Russian Roulette episode that is both deeply gloomy and highly entertaining. Olya and Jeff sit down with Matthew Rojansky, director of the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, to discuss the state of U.S.-Russia relations, historical cycles in the relationship, signaling, and ways out of the current downward spiral.
Note: this episode was recorded on April 2, before the Trump administration’s April 6 announcement of new sanctions targeting Russian oligarchs, and before reports emerged of a new chemical weapons attack in Syria. (It’s 2018. We can’t keep up. Can anyone?)
