SPEAKER
Steven Pifer - Visiting Fellow, Brookings Institution; Senior Advisor,
Center for Strategic and International Studies; Former US Ambassador to
Ukraine (1998-2000)


Tensions between President Yushchenko and Prime Minister Tymoshenko came to
a head in September, and the Orange parliamentary coalition broke up. What
does this mean for Ukraine's political future, and for its ability to meet
its key foreign policy challenges?


Steven Pifer is a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution and a
(non-resident) senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and
International Studies. A retired Foreign Service officer, his more than 25
years with the State Department focused on U.S. relations with the former
Soviet Union and Europe, as well as on arms control and security issues. His
assignments included deputy assistant secretary of state in the Bureau of
European and Eurasian Affairs (2001-2004), ambassador to Ukraine
(1998-2000), and special assistant to the president and National Security
Council senior director for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia (1996-1997). He also
served at the U.S. embassies in Warsaw, Moscow and London, as well as with
the U.S. delegation to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces negotiations in
Geneva. He holds a B.A. in economics from Stanford University, where he
later spent a year as a visiting scholar at Stanford's Institute for
International Studies. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

This event is jointly sponsored by the Forum on Contemporary Europe and the
Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies.
