Security Through Cooperation

Rose Gottemoeller is the William J. Perry Lecturer at the Center for International Security and Cooperation in Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and a Hoover Institution Research Fellow.

"I am glad Security Through Cooperationwill allow more people to know the story of this important era in US foreign policy." —President Bill Clinton "Gottemoeller provides an insightful, first-hand account of an era that, while recent, now seems remote: when Moscow and Washington cooperated to reduce the threat of nuclear conflict. Her insider's view of a golden era of arms control shows what worked, what failed, and what, despite today's hostilities, is still worth striving to accomplish." —Mary Elise Sarotte, author of Not One Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of Post-Cold War Stalemate "Whenever Russia's war against Ukraine finally ends, the United States will have to decide how to manage relations with Russia for the long term. Is permanent confrontation inevitable or is renewed cooperation possible? No one is better positioned to answer that question than Rose Gottemoeller. In this important, clear-eyed book, she draws lessons from her extensive professional experience to argue that renewed cooperation is both desirable and possible." —Thomas E. Graham, Council on Foreign Relations "Rose Gottemoeller is an extraordinary public servant. Her timely, extremely thoughtful book recounts all that was accomplished in post-Cold War arms control, the collapse of that security architecture in recent years, and the possibilities that may yet exist beyond the brutish aggression of Putin's Russia."—William J. Burns, former Director of the CIA, Deputy Secretary of Stye, and Ambassador to Russia "Written by a giant in her field, Security Through Cooperation is essential reading for anyone wanting to more deeply understand where US-Russia relations have been, and where they may go. Rose Gottemoeller's tremendous experience, expertise, and leadership mean that anything she writes, I will always read." —Andrea Kendall-Taylor, Center for a New American Security
