title: Rethinking the Regional Order for Post-Soviet Europe and Eurasia
abstract: Disputes over regional order in post-Soviet Europe and Eurasia, which reached their apex with Russia's annexation of Crimea and invasion of eastern Ukraine, are at the core of the breakdown in Russia-West relations. This Perspective proposes a new approach, based on a mutually acceptable regional integration framework and norms governing the behavior of outside powers, to boost regional stability and reduce the tensions in Russia-West relations.
