Commentary
The main source of Russian aggression is a profound mistrust of the West and the firm belief that it intends to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia. As long as this fear persists, the war will not end.

Authored by former Carnegie senior associate Daniel Hamilton, Beyond Bonn: America & The Berlin Republic reflects the deliberations of the Carnegie Endowment's Study Group on U.S. Policy toward Germany. The report argues that enormous changes in the European landscape have compelled a reexamination of U.S. policy toward Germany. The Bonn Republic, the western part of a divided nation, is being transformed into the Berlin Republic, Europe's central power. A business-as-usual approach is inadequate to the challenges of a post-Cold War world. Beyond Bonn calls for a wide range of pathbreaking policy initiatives to reinvigorate one of America's most important international relationships.
