Cohen Columbia Center for Oral History Columbia University 2017 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with name of Stephen F. Cohen conducted by Interviewer Caitlin Bertin-Mahieux on April 5 and 6, 2017. This interview is part of the Harriman Institute Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. ATC Session: 1 Interviewee: Stephen F. Cohen Location: New York, NY Interviewer: Caitlin Bertin-Mahieux Date: April 5, 2017 Q: This is Caitlin Bertin-Mahieux. I’m here with Professor Stephen F. [Frand] Cohen. Today is Wednesday, April 5, 2017 and this is for the Harriman Institute Oral History Project. We are recording this interview in New York on the upper west side. Professor Cohen, thank you again for joining us today, for the time. Cohen: I’d say my pleasure, but first of all I’m not sure anyone wants to rummage through the past in these times. It’s hard to think about the past today with all the weight of current events pressing down on us. Q: Which we’ll get to as well, I hope. But let’s start well in the past. Let’s start in the beginning. So you were just showing me some photographs of Kentucky where you grew up. So I know you were born there. Tell me a little bit about your childhood in Kentucky. Cohen: Actually I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana.

International Security and the Need for U.S.-Russia Cooperation U.S. Global Engagement Stephen F. Cohen, Jack F. Matlock, John Pepper, William vanden Heuvel, David C. Speedie Transcript Introduction DAVID SPEEDIE: Good evening. I'm David Speedie, director of the program on U.S. Global Engagement here at the Carnegie Council. We like to think of every event here at the Council as special. This one is special for a number of reasons, not least because of our remarkable panel, but also because it's a co-sponsorship with two other organizations, the Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia at New York University, with whom we have partnered before, and also the American Committee for East-West Accord, of which more just in a moment. Our meeting is on Russia and I want to acknowledge immediately for support of our work on Russia, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and on U.S.-Russia relations, which are probably best summarized at the moment as not good and getting worse. A couple of years ago, of course, it was over Ukraine that things began to go sour. Now the headline grabber is Syria, where there is not only a sharp difference on how to end a civil war but the real threat of armed confrontation between Russia and the NATO ally, namely Turkey. The gravity of the situation, I think, was amply and starkly underscored last week at the 52nd Munich Security Conference.

While initially hampered by low name recognition, Sanders, a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, managed to grow his brand and gain an enormous following. His supporters appreciated his honesty, anti-establishment message, and progressive positions on income redistribution, the environment, and foreign policy. Sanders, however, who is of Jewish heritage, often faced animosity from pro-Israel political groups. After speaking about Israeli aggression and the plight of the Palestinians early on the campaign trail, Sanders found himself forced to justify his statements in lieu of his presumed Jewishness. Within the State of Israel, the general population watched as the first Jewish presidential candidate to win multiple primaries would also be one of the first major American politicians to openly criticize the occupation, settlement expansion, and violence in Israel.

In the past two years the number of people in the US going online for news has jumped 19 percent. Advertisers are moving to Google and to other non-traditional sources. But there is a very interesting debate about whether these developments leave us better off or worse off. Now no one seriously questions that a free press is an essential national value.
