Dmitri Trenin, deputy director of the Carnegie Moscow Center, discussed his new book, The End of Eurasia: Russia on the Border Between Geopolitics and Globalization. Foreign Affairs recently reviewed the book, saying, “This work is both the best and the most thought-provoking book on Russian foreign policy around, written by a Russian who is ahead of his time and the vast majority of his countrymen.”

In The End of Eurasia, Trenin asserts that in light of China's growing might on Russia's eastern flank and the political instability to the Islam-dominated south, Russia's geopolitical future lies with the West. It is imperative, he contends, that Russia integrate with the European Union and build an alliance with the United States. His talk was moderated by Carnegie Endowment president Jessica Tuchman Mathews.
Trenin is arguably the most insightful commentator in Moscow on Russian foreign policy. He is influential in both Russia and Europe, respected by the government, military, and intelligence communities, and quoted regularly in the press. He joined the Carnegie Moscow Center, a leading public policy research center, after a distinguished 20-year military career.
