This book evaluates Central Asian regionalism by analyzing the
impact of Russia and China on physical infrastructure in the
region. The narrative builds a picture of the nature of the two
powers' influence on the development of regional connectivity in
Central Asia. The study covers the 30-year period since the
dissolution of the Soviet Union, with a focus on the last decade
preceding the global pandemic. Qualitative research methods, i.e.,
documentary analysis, media analysis, and elite interviews, are
implemented to explore how activities of Russia and China impact
regional cooperation among Central Asian states. Multiple case
studies of projects in the networked sectors of infrastructure,
i.e., transportation, energy, and telecommunications, are used to
build the argument and demonstrate the ways in which Russia's and
China's engagement influence regional connectivity. The book is of
interest to the scholars who study international relations in
Eurasia, major power relations, Sino-Russian relations, China
foreign policy, international institutions in Asia,
multilateralism, and regionalism. The empirical depth of the book
attracts attention of area studies scholars who focus on Central
Asia, Central Eurasia, and any of the five Central Asian states.
Additionally, the scholars who analyze the roles of hard
infrastructure find the book particularly important. The in-depth
cases on multilateral financial institutions and regional networks,
particularly energy, transportation, and telecommunication, are of
great value to those interested in these respective sectors.
