Free Article - The Myth of a No-NATO-Enlargement Pledge to Russia (read it online)

The Washington Quarterly (TWQ) is a journal of global affairs that analyzes strategic security challenges, changes, and their public policy implications. TWQ is published out of one of the world's preeminent international policy institutions, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and addresses topics such as:

  • The U.S. role in the world
  • Emerging great powers: Europe, China, Russia, India, and Japan
  • Regional issues and flashpoints, particularly in the Middle East and Asia
  • Weapons of mass destruction proliferation and missile defenses
  • Global perspectives to reduce terrorism

Contributors are drawn from outside as well as inside the United States and reflect diverse political, regional, and professional perspectives. Policymakers in the executive and legislative branches and members of the academic, corporate, diplomatic, and media communities value TWQ as a source of incisive and independent thinking about global political and security challenges and policies.
