Aspen Policy Books is a series of brief books devoted to developing new thinking on U.S. national security, cooperative measures to reduce conflict, and international polices of the United States from national defense strategy to issues of international political economy. The books are collections of "memos to the president" on one of these selected global policy issues.

America and Russia is organized around four topics related to U.S.-Russian relations: "America and Russia's Domestic Political Future," "America and Russia's Economic Future," "International Strategic Issues," and America, Russia, and the New States." Each topic begins with a list of questions for discussion, is followed by  a series of policy memos by guest experts, and concludes with a summary of the discussion on that topic.
