Moscow has progressively replaced geopolitics with geoeconomics as
power is recognised to derive from the state's ability to establish
a privileged position in strategic markets and transportation
corridors. The objective is to bridge the vast Eurasian continent
to reposition Russia from the periphery of Europe and Asia to the
centre of a new constellation. Moscow's 'Greater Europe' ambition
of the previous decades produced a failed Western-centric foreign
policy culminating in excessive dependence on the West. Instead of
constructing Gorbachev's 'Common European Home', the
'leaning-to-one-side' approach deprived Russia of the market value
and leverage needed to negotiate a more favourable and inclusive
Europe. Eurasian integration offers Russia the opportunity to
address this 'overreliance' on the West by using the Russia's
position as a Eurasian state to advance its influence in Europe.
Offering an account steeped in Russian economic statecraft and
power politics, this book offers a rare glimpse into the dominant
narratives of Russian strategic culture. It explains how the
country's outlook adjusts to the ongoing realignment towards Asia
while engaging in a parallel assessment of Russia's interactions
with other significant actors. The author offers discussion both on
Russian responses and adaptations to the current power transition
and the ways in which the economic initiatives promoted by Moscow
in its project for a 'Greater Eurasia' reflect the entrepreneurial
foreign policy strategy of the country.
