Workshop Abstract

The growing military relationship between Russia and China—the two greatest state threats to the U.S. and its allies—has the potential to significant impact security across the globe. The workshop will explore the nature and extent of military and security cooperation, but also potential competition, between Russia and China, as well as the policy implications for the United States and its allies.
