| Summary/Abstract |
AMID the coronavirus pandemic and an unprecedented presidential campaign in the US, the 60th anniversary of the Russian-American Dartmouth Conference went unnoticed. Yet, it would seem that this time-tested tool of citizen diplomacy, or "Track II diplomacy," is needed now more than ever in the past 30 years. The book Breaking Barriers in United States-Russia Relations: The Power and Promise of Citizen Diplomacy* - written by Philip Stewart, the American co-chair of the Dartmouth Conference, and published in Russian by Aspect Press - is filling this gap. The book is dedicated to Harold Saunders, a former US Assistant Secretary of State instrumental in advancing civil diplomacy, and Yevgeny Primakov, who himself first attended the Dartmouth Conference in 1971 and with whose blessing the event resumed in 2014, after a 24-year hiatus.

| Summary/Abstract |
The current state of U.S.-Russia relations is often compared with that of the Cold War. However, contradictions today between Moscow and Washington do not determine the dynamics of modern international relations. The confronta-tion between these two countries embraces all spheres (informational, eco-nomic, and political), resulting in a highly-dependent situation where conflict impacts all areas of cooperation. Relations between Russia and the United States сlearly manifest a psychological phenomenon known as fundamental attribution error that indicates a tendency towards explaining the behavior and actions of other people by their bad qualities and one’s own behavior by exter-nal circumstances. At the same time, the U.S-Russia confrontation is taking place against the background of a de facto political “civil war” within the Ameri-can establishment, which has greatly disrupted foreign policy decision-making in Washington.

| Summary/Abstract |
Effects of the transformation of the international relations system at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century have included changes in the character of global security threats. The emergence of a black market for nuclear materials, information and technologies and the possibility of extremist networks getting hold of nuclear weapons are among new sources of danger.
