This paper provides an overview of the development of NATO-Russia relations from the dissolution of the Soviet Union until 2005. Along with a survey of Russian attitudes and responses, the author examines some of the major contentious issues facing the two sides, with a particular focus on the underlying sources of those problems which will continue to affect future NATO-Russia dealings. Further, he outlines several concrete actions NATO can take to continue engaging Russia productively and positively, even in light of another probable round of enlargement.
