China and Eurasia

"To master the art of multilateralism is a challenging task for every nation, but it is particularly hard for great powers that for centuries looked at their smaller neighbors with hubris and condescension. The authors of the book analyze how this challenge is handled by modern China, revealing both success stories and failures of the current Chinese approaches to Eurasia. The book is a valuable source to all interested in the future Eurasian security and development ecosystems."

"China and Eurasia documents how China is transforming post-cold war political and economic order in Eurasia. Contributors shed light on key questions such as the responses of Russia, the EU, India, and ASEAN to Chinese initiatives; the impact of China’s growing influence on volatile subregions such as the Balkans, the Caucasus, and the Persian Gulf; and what the new dynamic of multipolar competition unchecked by effective multilateral governance might mean for continuing peace and prosperity. This collection is a welcome guide to the new geopolitics of Eurasia set in motion by China’s rise toward great power predominance."
