The Making of Eurasia investigates the multi-layered spectrum of
China and Russia's Eurasian policies towards each other, ranging
from competition to cooperation, as well as the role of regional
actors in between. The book examines the impact of and responses to
the dynamic Sino-Russian interaction in the wake of China's Belt
and Road initiative, focusing on the selected case studies of
Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Uzbekistan, but also on inter-regional
implications across the Eurasian space. With China's imprint on
inter-regional politics and ambition to make a distinctive Chinese
contribution to 'globalization' and Russia's vision of a 'Greater
Eurasia' in which Moscow stakes out a place for itself as an
indispensable power, other regional actors adopt policies that
respond to and co-shape the resulting centrifugal forces.
Meanwhile, power shifts are underway on a global plane, as the
normative divide between Russia and the West has widened, and as
the Sino-American rivalry is intensifying. The book therefore also
sheds light on the effects of Eurasian power shifts on global
governance in a context where global 'leadership' is contested, and
in which the US and Europe are re-defining their relationship not
only towards a self-confident China but also towards each other. As
such, this study will provide valuable insight for students and
scholars of Eurasian Asia Studies, Foreign Policy Analysis, and
International Relations at large.
The Iranian nuclear crisis is a proxy arena for competing visions
about the functioning of international relations. This book is the
first to provide comprehensive and comparative analyses to
conceptualise the interaction between 'hegemonic structures' and
those actors resisting them using the Iranian nuclear case as an
illustration. It analyses the foreign policies of China, Russia and
Turkey towards the Iranian nuclear programme and thereby answers
the question to what extent these policies are indicative of a
security culture that resists hegemony. Based on 70 elite
interviews with experts and decision-makers closely involved with
the Iranian nuclear file, it analyses resistance to hegemony across
its ideational, material and institutional framework conditions.
The cases examined show how 'compliance' on the part of China,
Russia and Turkey with parts of US approaches to the Iranian
nuclear conflict has been selective, and how US policy preferences
in the Iran dossier have been resisted on other occasions. As such,
the Iran nuclear case serves as an illustration to shed light on
the contemporaneous interaction of the forces of consent and
coercion in international politics. This book will be of key
interest to scholars, students and practitioners in International
Relations, Security Studies and Foreign Policy Analysis.
