Prospects for Joint Russia-NATO Missile Defence System

- Please find enclosed next issue of the Bulletin: Prospects for Joint Russia-NATO Missile Defence System by Beata Górka-Winter and Robert Śmigielski.

Mutual interest in improved relations between Russia on one hand and NATO and the U.S. on the other has provided conditions for a discussion on Russia’s possible participation in NATO’s missile defence (MD) system. But an integrated system, complete with joint command, would require not only political will, a joint assessment of threats and the overcoming of technical obstacles, but—most importantly—the restoration of trust in one other—something which may pose problems in the short run.
