Past the Point of No Return

The core of the new system is going to emerge in Eurasia, which remains not only the most populous, but also the most dynamic and economically potent continent of our planet When Chairman Xi Jinping was departing from Moscow on his last trip to Russia in March of this year, his farewell words to Vladimir Putin were the following: “We are encountering change unseen in a hundred years. Let us work together to drive it”. Those of us who took courses in Chinese history may recall that the first ...

Outlook for Turkmenistan as Eurasia’s Transport Hub

... more than significant role, courtesy of its favorable geographical location. The attempts to impose customs restrictions on the border with Belarus, made by European nations, have also taken a toll. Against this background, the transit countries of Eurasia, which previously used the Russian corridor as an optimal route to the world markets, are now forced to look for alternative ways of trading with the West. This leads to revitalization of contacts between the transit countries within the framework of already existing projects, ...

Factors of Stability in Greater Eurasia

... important way of connecting with those markets from which the West seeks to alienate it. These countries operate under market economic principles and so far depend little on external political factors. We see that feeble attempts to force the countries of Eurasia to reconsider their economic relations with Russia face obstacles that are not necessarily of a formal nature. This does not mean that relations between the economies of Greater Eurasia are immune to external shocks. But so far, they demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and adaptability to ...

Russian Security Priorities in Near Eurasia

... Turkey itself, whose domestic political and economic future is not completely certain. The threat from America’s Eastern European allies is not a product of their own capabilities, but of the use of these territories as a base for American policy in Eurasia. Summing up, we can say that while in the case of Ukraine and perhaps even the Baltic states, Russia is dealing with a consolidated adversary whose intentions towards us are determined by strategic circumstances, in the rest of the periphery the situation is not similar, even theoretically. Nowhere in neighbouring Eurasia do we run the risk of ...

Russia’s Turn to the East: Between Choice and Necessity

... Asian countries over the past 10 years. Relations between Moscow and Beijing are of a strategic nature, they are united by a common vision of a just international order, in which there will be no place for the dominance of a narrow group of states. Russia and China are jointly responsible for the stability of a huge part of Eurasia. Bilateral trade and economic relations are developing with the understanding that at some point Russia and China will indeed have to complement each other; as Chinese authors put it, “stand back to back” and jointly resist the attempts of ...

Russian–Chinese Dialogue: The 2022 Model

... the first quarter of 2022. That was the period when international environment and increasing global confrontation significantly influenced Moscow— Beijing relations. The authors of the report concentrate on how recent international events influence Russia’s and China’s positions in Eurasia, the prospects of and conditions for the regional development. The report also traditionally looks into main achievements and difficulties of the bilateral agenda. Authors: From Russia: Kirill Babaev, Dr. of Philological Studies (Head); Аndrey ...

What Is a Sovereign State?

... this, and their sovereign future is in question. In some cases (Georgia, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan) their geopolitical position contributes to the gradual strengthening of their sovereignty. These republics behave adequately to the power composition of Eurasia because they know how to look at the map. Although in the case of Georgia, the development of this skill does not take place without the help of Russia. As a result of these waves of sovereignisation, more and more countries have emerged in the world whose power capabilities do not allow them to be considered fully autonomous units. This means that their own contribution to global stability is ...

Peacebuilding in Eurasia

... from one or another intensity of cooperation. An important issue will be the fate of those international institutions that have emerged in Eurasia over the past decades - the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, as well as narrower associations around Russia - the Eurasian Economic Union and the Collective Security Treaty Organisation. In all three cases, participating countries will need to redefine the role and place of these institutions in their own struggle for survival, as well as adapt their behaviour to ...

Putin’s Ukraine Pushback: Existential War & The Moment of Rupture

... the shape of a delusion or a nightmare. Russia will have to accept the fact that the Western option has receded for a more or less prolonged period. It will have to accept that its own Western character derives from its locus as the Western front of Eurasia. Russia is the only truly Eurasian state, containing both West and East within itself. A viable Russian grand strategy under the circumstances can only be Eurasia-centric before it aspires to be ‘Greater Eurasian’. In this first stage it should encompass ...

Towards Increasingly Complex Multipolarity: Scenario for the Future

... the circumstances to revise their grand strategic outlook. The Eurasian “Balancing” Act The arguably emerging NWO will be characterized by plenty of “balancing”, especially as regards Russian, Turkish, Indian, and Chinese grand strategies in Eurasia: Russia The Eurasian great power will seek to optimize its Afro-Eurasian “balancing” act between West and East, the former comprising the U.S./EU while the latter encompassing China vis-a-vis BRI; India with respect to the possibility of jointly leading ...
