Keck quoted in CSM article on the impeachment process

After two tumultuous impeachments of former President Donald Trump in little over a year, it’s clear that today the impeachment process works far differently than the Founding Fathers intended. "What I would emphasize is that there are structural problems with our democracy, some of which are really hard to fix, but some of which have emerged recently which there are fixes for," says Thomas Keck, professor of political science and Michael O. Sawyer Chair of Constitutional Law and Politics. Read more in the Christian Science Monitor article, "Four impeachments, zero removals: Sign of cracks in Constitution?"

Barkun participates in ICSVE discussion panel on QAnon

Professor Emeritus of Political Science Michael Barkun recently participated in a panel discussion titled "Understanding QAnon," that was hosted by the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE). The panelists discussed the dangers of conspiracy theories, the processes of joining and leaving cults (and whether QAnon is itself a cult), and the threat that the United States faces from QAnon now that Joe Biden is President.

Gadarian speaks to WTSP about post-COVID mask-wearing

Masks are part of our everyday routine right now but will Americans continue to wear them post-pandemic? "There's a cultural norm in China or in Hong Kong and other places to wear a mask when you yourself are sick, but in the U.S. the culture of individualism or individual choice is very strong," says Shana Gadarian, associate professor of political science. "To make people believe they are the experts in their own health decisions and they should do what helps them, rather than the community is a big hurdle to overcome," Gadarian says.

Reeher speaks to Newsweek about polarization in Congress

Professor Grant Reeher says that he doesn't see "a lot of prospects" for Congress to govern in a bipartisan way "in the short term or the near long term," pointing out that the current level of political polarization has been decades in the making. "Ironically, what it will probably take to create more bipartisanship is for one party to establish clear, stable control of an institution," he says. "This happened for a good chunk of the 20th century with Democrats in Congress, and for a shorter period of time, with Republicans in the White House," Reeher explains. Read more in the Newsweek article, "Amid GOP Infighting Over Trump, Republicans Agree on Opposing Biden's Agenda."

Keck piece on the purpose of impeachment published on Syracuse.com

"The impeachment power’s primary function, in actual practice, is to lay down a marker for history," writes Thomas Keck, Michael O. Sawyer Chair of Constitutional Law and Politics. "Donald Trump has joined Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton as the only presidents to be impeached, and he stands alone as the only president to suffer this fate more than once. Wherever U.S. history is fairly taught, this fact will be noted about his presidency," he says. Read more in Keck's article, "What’s the point of impeachment? ‘To lay down a marker for history’," published on Syracuse.com.

Gadarian quoted in City & State article on Tenney's win in NY22

In New York’s 22nd congressional district, Republican Claudia Tenney was certified as the winner on Monday, unseating moderate Democrat Anthony Brindisi—who just two years earlier defeated Tenney after her first term in Congress. "If you’re a Democrat who is trying to walk the line in a kind of socially conservative district, I think having to vote on impeachment, having to take positions on budgets—those are now (votes) that your opponent can push against," says Shana Gadarian, associate professor of political science. Read more in the City & State article, "How Claudia Tenney won back her seat in Congress."

Abdelaaty study on human rights, refugee protection published in IJHR

"The relationship between human rights and refugee protection: an empirical analysis," authored by Assistant Professor of Political Science Lamis Abdelaaty, was published in the International Journal of Human Rights. Abdelaaty examined the relationship between a government's respect for the rights of its own citizens and that government's regard for refugee rights and found that the relationship between citizens’ rights and refugee rights is modified by economic conditions and the size of the refugee population.

Jolly study on EU's transnational-nationalist dimension published

"A new divide? Assessing the transnational-nationalist dimension among political parties and the public across the EU," co-authored by Associate Professor of Political Science Seth Jolly and Ph.D. candidate Daniel Jackson, was published in European Union Politics. Jolly and Jackson argue that the transnational-nationalist divide is a useful framework for understanding political conflict over European integration and the recent rise of nationalism across Europe, above and beyond the traditional economic and social left-right dimensions.

Reeher discusses significance of Trump's impeachment trial in Newsweek

"Regarding impeachment, polarization has led the two parties to dig in immediately and deeply. Clinton's impeachment is probably a better pure example of its effects," says Professor Grant Reeher. "Trump's behavior has been far more problematic and dangerous to the nation, but I still think that polarization has affected how each party has responded, and it has made impeachment—or defending a president or former president against it—a more likely response," he says. Read more in the Newsweek article, "Impeachment Trials Were Rare in U.S. History, Now Senate Begins Third in Just Over 20 Years."

Faricy explores public perceptions of welfare via the U.S. tax code

In their new book, “The Other Side of the Coin: Public Opinion toward Social Tax Expenditures” (Russel Sage Foundation), Christopher Faricy, associate professor of political science, and Bucknell University professor Christopher Ellis examine how public opinion differs between two types of economic aid—direct government assistance vs. indirect assistance in the form of tax subsidies.

Gueorguiev quoted in SCMP on Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement

A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has nominated Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. "It is important to remember that this development follows on recent Chinese sanctions against U.S. officials, who had criticized China‘s human rights record, announced during the twilight moments of the Trump administration," says Dimitar Gueorguiev. "Optimists in Beijing might have thought that a new administration would offer an opportunity for some sort of reset. That seems increasingly unlikely," Gueorguiev says. Read more in the South China Morning Post article, "U.S. lawmakers nominate Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement for the Nobel Peace Prize."

Griffiths evaluates grievances of secessionist movements in new paper

"Local conditions and the demand for independence: A dataset of secessionist grievances," co-authored by Associate Professor of Political Science Ryan Griffiths and Ph.D. candidate Angely Martinez, was published in Nations and Nationalism. There are more than 60 secessionist movements around the world, and they all advance arguments for why they deserve independence. In the article, Griffiths and Martinez construct a dataset of secessionist grievances. They develop a set of grievance indicators, specify how they are operationalized and detail how the grievances are categorized and aggregated. They then tally the results for each contemporary movement and discuss the broader patterns.

Barkun cited in Mere Orthodoxy article on insurgency in America

Professor Emeritus Michael Barkun's research on extremism and conspiracy theories was cited in the Mere Orthodoxy article, "A Homegrown Christian Insurgency." In 2017, Barkun predicted that Trump’s "mainstreaming of the fringe" would likely wash away customs, practices and norms that served as crucial protections of democratic culture in America. "Should formerly fringe forces substantially weaken the informal rules and practices that historically kept violence at bay," Barkun wrote, "the stability we now take for granted would become, for the first time in our lifetimes, problematic."

Thompson shares her thoughts on Biden, Harris with LocalSYR

"President Biden served eight years as Vice President, so he was very much involved in the Obama Presidency," says Margaret Susan Thompson, associate professor of history and political science. "He saw things from the inside. But I think one of the things that’s going to make a big difference is his respect for and I think a reliance on expertise in a variety of fields." Thompson also believes Vice President Harris will play a big role over the next four years, especially because the Senate is so narrowly divided at this time. Watch the full interview via LocalSYR.com.

Reeher talks to CNY Central about local benefits of a Biden presidency

Professor Grant Reeher thinks a Biden presidency will be good for Central New York. "It might make it a little bit easier for John Katko to get the ear of the President if there's a major piece of legislation being negotiated," Reeher says. "We may be on his radar when he's thinking about the problems of small to mid-size cities. Are they getting the help from the federal government that they need? I think that is going to be a good thing for this area." Reeher was interviewed for the CNY Central story, "How CNY could benefit from Biden presidency."

McDowell examines the yuan's potential to challenge the dollar in WPR

In his latest piece, "Dollar Doomsayers Are Wrong—Again," published in World Politics Review, Associate Professor of Political Science Daniel McDowell explains why the Chinese yuan does not pose a threat to the dollar's reserve currency status. "Chinese financial reforms have undoubtedly boosted the yuan’s economic appeal over the past 10 years. Yet, at the same time, concerns about the Chinese political system are a major impediment to the yuan’s global competitiveness," says McDowell. "In the long run, the dollar is likely to outlive predictions of its demise not because of its inherent attractiveness, but because of its competitors’ flaws."

Reeher discusses Trump's legacies in The Hill

Professor Grant Reeher says that, in terms of policy, one of Trump’s most enduring legacies could be the tax cuts he enacted in 2017. Reeher makes clear he's not asserting that the tax cuts were good or bad, simply that they would be hard to reverse, since the political disincentive to raise taxes is so strong. By contrast, he notes, Biden has promised to instantly reverse or otherwise erase signature Trump policies pertaining to the Paris climate agreement and the infamous travel ban. Read more in The Hill article, "The Memo: Trump leaves changed nation in his wake."

McDowell reviews Biden's agenda to revitalize US manufacturing in WPR

Existing U.S. trade agreements may constrain Biden’s ability to deliver on his promise to spend $400 billion over four years on American-made goods, says Daniel McDowell. "Many of these deals include 'national treatment' measures that the U.S. is obligated to honor. Ignoring such commitments could lead to trade disputes with key allies and complicate Biden’s efforts to rebuild relations with those countries after Trump soured them," he says. Read McDowell's full article, "'Made in America' Is a Familiar Presidential Promise. Can Biden Deliver?," published in World Politics Review.

Reeher comments on Rep. Stefanik's career trajectory in Times Union

Rep. Elise Stefanik’s career trajectory has always followed two paths, says Professor Grant Reeher: astute and methodical political operative and ideological warrior. "I think those two are at a crossroads right now," Reeher says. "What will be the reckoning for her? It depends on what Trump does from here on out, and what she does from here on out." Reeher was quoted in the Albany Times Union article, "Cracks emerge in Stefanik's North Country GOP power base."

Reeher discusses NY's first Senate majority leader, Schumer, with D&C

Professor Grant Reeher says Sen. Chuck Schumer’s rise to the majority leader role would likely have "some beneficial effect" in terms of money flowing to his home state, though he suggests that could be tempered by how closely divided the Senate is. "It’s not going to be a night and day effect because of how the Senate works and how the numbers are arrayed," he says. Reeher was quoted in the Democrat & Chronicle article, "Schumer nears becoming first Senate majority leader from NY: 'It feels like a brand new day'."

Thorson quoted in National Geographic article on conspiracy theories

Once people believe something, it can be almost impossible to dissuade them. Emily Thorson, assistant professor of political science, refers to this psychological phenomenon as belief echoes—an "obsessive, emotional response to information that can linger even after we know it’s false." Thorson was quoted in the National Geographic article, "Why people latch on to conspiracy theories, according to science."

Keck weighs in on Trump impeachment in Al Jazeera

An important constitutional question surrounding a Senate impeachment trial is whether or not it can proceed after a president has already left the White House. "The constitutional text is not clear on that point,” says Thomas Keck, Michael O. Sawyer Chair of Constitutional Law and Politics, adding though, that "most constitutional scholars who study impeachment agree that the trial and conviction can happen after he leaves office." Read more in the Al Jazeera article, "'Toothless tiger': Impeachment could bar Trump from future office."

Gadarian discusses Rep. Stefanik's loyalty to Trump with NCPR

On Monday, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who represents New York's 21st congressional district, announced her plans to object during the electoral count on Wednesday. Shana Gadarian, associate professor of political science, spoke with North Country Public Radio (NCPR) about the significance of Stefanik's objection to the electoral count and her loyalty to Trump. "I think she's [Stefanik] really kind of set her course as being part of this kind of Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz part of the Republican party at this point, and it will be harder to say, 'I work in a bipartisan way,'" says Gadarian. "That doesn't necessarily mean you'll be voted out, but it will mean that you have chosen sides at this point."

Maxwell faculty speak to the media about violence at the US Capitol

Several Maxwell faculty members spoke with various media outlets about yesterday's violence at the U.S. Capitol. Professor Emeritus William C. Banks said the fiasco was a "lawless threat" to the country's democratic institutions. "I hope and believe that this pointless and damaging spectacle will further diminish Trump and Trumpism going forward," he told China Daily. Margaret Susan Thompson, associate professor of history and political science, told WAER, "People are disappointed when their candidates lose. There's no question about that, and believe me, I've been on the losing side of many elections. But this has gone beyond that. This has gone beyond to what can only be called fanaticism."

White comments on Georgia runoff election in The 74, La Tercera

The results of Tuesday's runoff election in Georgia will decide which party controls the U.S. Senate. Even if the Democrats gain control, they’ll still be looking for support from moderate Republicans. "Senators who are willing to vote with the other side will certainly find themselves getting a lot of attention and likely very favorable treatment of any issues that disproportionately affect their states," Assistant Professor of Political Science Steven White told The 74. He also spoke to La Tercera about the runoff election in Georgia.

Abdelaaty examines disparities in refugee treatment

In her new book “Discrimination and Delegation: Explaining State Responses to Refugees” (Oxford University Press), Syracuse political science professor Lamis Abdelaaty examines the factors that shape states’ responses to refugees. She asks important questions about why some states welcome refugees while others exclude them, and why some states cede control of the asylum process and refugee camps to the United Nations.

McDowell looks at policy responses to COVID economic fallout in WPR

Daniel McDowell looks back and then looks ahead at government responses to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic in his latest article, "Governments Acted Fast to Save the Economy. Now Too Many Have Pandemic Fatigue," published in World Politics Review. "An early review of those initial measures indicates that, so far, they have been quite successful at preventing deep and lasting economic damage," McDowell says. But, "the question of sustainability is now center stage. If policymakers, who moved swiftly and boldly when the pandemic first hit, want to prevent their initial responses from being in vain, they must fend off their own version of pandemic fatigue," he says.

New study by Cleary examines regime dynamics in fragile democracies

"When Does Backsliding Lead to Breakdown? Uncertainty and Opposition Strategies in Democracies at Risk," co-authored by Matthew Cleary, was published in Perspectives on Politics. The authors develop an agency-based perspective to enhance the understanding of aggrandizement and to explain when it results in democratic breakdown. Relying on comparative case studies of five countries—Bolivia, Ecuador, Thailand, Turkey, and Venezuela—their analysis suggests that the contingent decisions of opposition actors during the process of aggrandizement have a significant effect on regime outcomes.

McDowell examines how Biden will handle trade in World Politics Review

"After a roughly three-decade commitment to liberal economic ideas highlighting the benefits of free trade, more of the [Democratic] party is increasingly skeptical of it, as concerns about rising income inequality and growing corporate power are ascendant," writes Daniel McDowell, associate professor of political science. "While there is some room for Biden to maneuver when it comes to tariffs and other measures, the apparent durability of a Trumpian approach to trade signals that a new era in U.S. trade policy has not only arrived, it plans to stay awhile," he says. McDowell's article, "Why Trump’s Trade Agenda Is Here to Stay," was published in World Politics Review.

Morgan quoted in Vox article on Brexit negotiations

Brexit negotiations have reached a "critical stage," according to the UK government, but what that all means for the prospect of a Brexit deal is still unclear. Deal or no deal, it’s unlikely that Brexit ends this month. Given the short timeline, the UK and EU will likely have additional arrangements and details to work out after the transition period ends. "I think this is the forever Brexit," says Glyn Morgan, associate professor of political science. "Because it’s not as if you can get out and ignore your trading partner." Read more in the Vox article, "Brexit talks enter the final stage — maybe."

Thompson discusses the possibility of Trump resigning with WPIX

President Trump could resign shortly before his term ends on Jan. 20 at which point Vice President Mike Pence would assume office and could issue a pardon. "This would certainly be legal, if questionably ethical, especially if there were a prior agreement between Pence and Trump," says Margaret Susan Thompson, associate professor of history and political science. "You’ll recall that Ford pardoned Nixon under similar circumstances, though Ford denied throughout his life that there had been any agreement between him and Nixon." Read more in the WPIX-11 article, "Could President Trump resign?"

New study examines age‐at‐death disparity, people with and without IDD

"Evidence of continued reduction in the age‐at‐death disparity between adults with and without intellectual and/or developmental disabilities," co-authored by sociologists Scott Landes and Janet Wilmoth, along with social science PhD student Erika Carter Grosso '10 MA (PSc), was published in the Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities. Evidence from the study demonstrates that the age‐at‐death disparity between adults who did or did not have an intellectual and/or developmental disability reported on their death certificate continues to decrease, but the magnitude of the remaining disparity varied considerably by type of disability.

White quoted in Patch article on police unions

Steven White, assistant professor of political science, says one reason it's so hard to fire a police officer, even one who appears to have broken the law, is because there are so many opportunities for the officers and their unions to appeal. These provisions are often built into the collective bargaining agreements, which makes it unlikely that there will be much in the way of reform, he says. "The language in the contracts is very much stacked toward officers and letting officers get away with things, which is not surprising," White says.

Gadarian discusses partisan divide over COVID-19 in USA Today

"I thought at some point, reality would come back in for people and they would have a hard time balancing their motivations to stay consistent with their partisanship with what's going on on the ground," says Shana Gadarian, associate professor of political science, who has tracked American attitudes toward the pandemic since it began. "That was wholly optimistic on my part." Gadarian was interviewed for the USA Today article, "As COVID surges, Americans remain divided on the threat. What will it take to bring them together?"

Jackson op-ed on protectionism, white femininity published in Truthout

"As the majority of white women continue to support candidates whose policies stand in opposition to the concerns and experiences of vulnerable populations in the United States, there remains a proclivity among progressives to protect them from criticism," writes Jenn Jackson, assistant professor of political science. Their op-ed, "Yes, 55 Percent of White Women Voted for Trump. No, I’m Not Surprised," was published in Truthout.

Reeher weighs in on NY's relationship with Biden in Press Republican

Under Biden the state could find itself having a much more responsive federal government, and a number of Democrats, not just Cuomo, could be among the beneficiaries, says Professor Grant Reeher. "It certainly gives the state a much louder voice in Washington," he says. And that is expected to be the case even if national Republicans keep control of the U.S. Senate, via two special runoff elections slated to be held in early January, Reeher adds. Read more in the Press Republican article, "Biden could give Albany more influence."

Abdelaaty examines asylum admissions in International Interactions

Why would a country welcome some refugees and treat others poorly? More specifically, why do countries accept some asylum applications and reject others? In her study titled "Rivalry, ethnicity, and asylum admissions worldwide," Assistant Professor of Political Science Lamis Abdelaaty argues that states’ approaches to refugees are shaped by foreign policy and ethnic politics. The article was published in International Interactions.

Gadarian provides post-election commentary on TRT World, WAER

"These baseless accusations of electoral fraud do a lot of damage to the public’s belief in the electoral system and in democracy itself," says Shana Gadarian, associate professor of political science. "And that is extremely damaging to our democracy." Gadarian was interviewed for the TRT World segment, "How Biden Beat Trump." She was also interviewed for the WAER segment, "What Can Trump Achieve or Get Away with During Lame Duck Presidency?"

Abdelaaty piece on UNHCR refugee status determination published in FMR

"RSD by UNHCR: difficulties and dilemmas," written by Assistant Professor of Political Science Lamis Abdelaaty, was published in Forced Migration Review. Abdelaaty draws on archival research relating to Egypt, Kenya and Turkey to explore the potential consequences of the UNHCR's (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) involvement in refugee status determination (RSD) procedures in a country’s territory.

White discusses the importance of GA runoff elections in The Nation

The stakes are as high as they possibly could be, because, as Assistant Professor of Political Science Steven White notes, "If Democrats win the two Senate races in Georgia, their odds of being able to pass the legislation in their platform [go] up dramatically." White was quoted in The Nation article, "Georgia Voters Can Put an End to Mitch McConnell’s Grim Reaping." He was also quoted in the Las Vegas Review-Journal article, "Democrats pin Senate hopes on Georgia runoff elections," the White Plains CitizeNetReporter article, "Impact of Georgia U.S. Senate Seat Runoff Elections," and the The 74 article, "Makeup of Senate Means Biden Will Likely Lack Votes and ‘Big Buckets of Funding’ for Expansive Education Agenda."

Thorson provides key election takeaways in Washington Post article

High voter turnout, rethinking election "fundamentals," nationalized politics, and the significance of electoral cycles are just a few of the takeaways from the 2020 election that Emily Thorson, assistant professor of political science, and her co-author write about. Their article, "Here are six big takeaways from the 2020 elections," was published in the Washington Post.

Bybee talks to WSYR about how to deal with political polarization

"I think what’s important to realize about civility is it’s all a matter of display. It’s a matter of showing people respect. You don’t have to like everybody," says Keith Bybee, professor of political science and author of "How Civility Works." The problem with that is many people have different ideas of what respectable behavior should look like. It all comes back to how you were raised, says Bybee. Read more in the WSYR article, "Dealing with the differences: How to handle political polarization."

Gadarian quoted in NPR article on COVID-19, support for Trump

"What we've seen is over time that the biggest determinant of people's worries about COVID-19 and their attitudes about COVID-19 is not where they live or the COVID-19 deaths in their area, but it is their partisanship," says Shana Gadarian, associate professor of political science. "We know partisanship matters a great deal for people's vote choice." Read more in the NPR article, "Many Places Hard Hit By COVID-19 Leaned More Toward Trump In 2020 Than 2016." Gadarian was also interviewed for the City & State article, "New York’s voter registration and turnout continue to lag."

Reeher provides election commentary to local, international press

"It may be the Democrats have yet to find the balance they need between the left wing of their party and the rest of it," Professor Grant Reeher told Spectrum News. "Biden struggled to balance these two camps. Republicans beat expectations, and with a more ‘presidential’ candidate at the top of the ticket, they could be well positioned in 2024." Reeher provided election commentary to several local and international media outlets.

Pralle discusses updating county flood maps in Cortland Standard

The Cortland County flood map "might show a reasonable flood risk today, but since we don’t make those investment decisions with ramifications far into the future, the maps don’t really help us plan for a different climate," says Sarah Pralle, associate professor of political science. "When we look at flood maps now, the conversations are about the insurance cost," Pralle says. Instead, "we have to get to the point where we talk about these things as risks and how to mitigate these things as well." Read more in the Cortland Standard article, "What Cortland County’s flood map does, and doesn’t, show."

Bybee talks to WAER about the partisan profile of SCOTUS

"Majorities of Americans will no longer see the court as an impartial harbinger of law, and will instead interpret judicial decisions simply as Democrats and Republicans in opposition, on the high court," says Keith Bybee, professor of political science. "When you have that kind of understanding eclipsing a view of impartiality, then the legitimacy of the entire institution is at risk." Read more in the WAER article, "SU Professor Questions Whether Supreme Court Can Be Seen as Impartial Amid Partisan Influences."

Stonecash discusses what drives polarization in CSM

Polarization will also likely exist long after President Trump has left the stage, says Jeffrey Stonecash, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Political Science. To understand it, we need to examine the ideas and values that drive it – which groups embrace some ideas and not others, and how those groups politically align, he argues. At the heart of all this is a question, Stonecash says: What defines America? Read more in the Christian Science Monitor article, "Election 2020’s fundamental question: ‘What defines America?’" Stonecash was also quoted in the TODAY article, "US presidential election — what a Trump or Biden win means."

Bennett, Gadarian quoted in NYT on voters' fear for our democracy

There have been other moments of interlocking crises and deep anxiety in America in the past century. But in those moments, the country didn’t have a president seen by many as having "taken a pickax to the tent poles of democratic institutions," says Professor Emeritus David Bennett. According to Shana Gadarian, "There are a couple ways in which the president has chosen an ineffective strategy." The first is that he has tried to tug on personal worries, like falling property values. "The second," she says, "is telling people not to be worried about something that is in fact worrisome." Read more in the New York Times article, "Americans Are Afraid. Not for Themselves, but for the Country."

Gadarian cited in Atlantic, NY Times articles on perceptions of Trump

"In a threatening environment, Americans reward candidates and parties perceived to hold hawkish positions" and "punish candidates perceived to be dovish," Shana Gadarian told the New York Times. She was interviewed for the article, "Trump Couldn’t Play the Tough Guy This Time." Gadarian was also cited in The Atlantic article, "Why Many White Men Love Trump’s Coronavirus Response."

Taylor weighs in on US-Russia relations under Biden in RFE/RL article

A Biden administration, analysts say, would deliver a more consistent policy to the Kremlin, potentially enabling the U.S. and Russia to get more done even if his stance or rhetoric is tougher than Trump's. Clearer messaging could mean that "on certain issues, U.S. policy might be tougher than it has been under Trump," says Professor Brian Taylor. "But it also might mean that in certain areas, it's easier to see possible so-called 'win-win' solutions that just aren't on the table now because of how dysfunctional the process has become." Read more in the RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty (RFE/RL) article, "Russia Relations Unlikely To Improve, Regardless Of U.S. Election Outcome."
