WASHINGTON, Apr 7—Rose Gottemoeller, former director of the Carnegie Moscow Center and a senior associate in the Carnegie Russia and Eurasia Program in Washington, has been confirmed Assistant Secretary of State for Verification and Compliance. Gottemoeller has also been designated as the lead negotiator for a follow-on to the START Treaty, set to expire in December.
Welcoming the announcement, the president of the Endowment, Jessica T. Mathews, said:
“We are delighted for Rose. It is bittersweet to lose such a valued colleague, and someone who has been such a leader at Carnegie, but there is simply no one better qualified to play the critically important role to which she has been named. I know she will continue to build her long track record of success.”
Gottemoeller is a leading international expert on nuclear security, strategic stability, nonproliferation, arms control, Russian-American relations, and nuclear issues in post-Soviet territories. As director of the Carnegie Moscow Center from 2006-2008, she was simultaneously co-chair of the Center’s Nonproliferation Program, initiated and led the Forum on Energy Security, and ran a series of seminars and roundtables on the U.S.-Russian security relationship with the participation of key Russian and international experts, political and public figures.
From October 2000 to December 2005, Gottemoeller served as senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, where she held a joint appointment with the Russia and Eurasia Program and the Nonproliferation Program.
Prior to her work at the Carnegie Endowment, Gottemoeller served in the U.S. Department of Energy from 1997 to 2000, which included positions as deputy undersecretary for defense and nuclear nonproliferation, and assistant secretary for nonproliferation and national security, with responsibility for nonproliferation cooperation with Russia and the Newly Independent States.

Over the past ten years, NATO has held almost as many summits as it did during the entirety of the Cold War. Are they still useful, or is it time to stop holding annual meetings?

The security forces are targeting Arkady and Boris Rotenberg’s patronage network—and in Putin’s Russia, it’s extremely hard to stop a purge once it’s under way.

The move is an escalation of its war on multilateralism.

Andrey Melnichenko’s essay offers no answer to the fundamental question of how, under any kind of negotiated settlement, Europe can protect itself from the Russian ressentiment that is inevitable in all scenarios except for an outright victory for Putin.
