Russia, Eurasia and the New Geopolitics of Energy

"A lively collection that focuses on Russia's 'pivot to the East' and places it within a wider geopolitical context. It reads like a new 'Great Game' but this time the competing powers are Russia and China, and the prize is the mineral wealth on which we all depend. I can think of no better way of trying to understand it than to read this book." Professor Stephen White, University of Glasgow, UK "A must-read! This is a thrilling and long-overdue analysis of the emerging new Great Game over Central Asia and its energy and other resources between a receding Russian empire and a rising Chinese empire, and with a firm foundation in current neorealist and neoinstitutional theories." Professor Bertil Nygren, Stockholm University, Sweden
