The Making of Eurasia explores the complex spectrum of China and Russia's policies towards each other, highlighting their competition and cooperation, alongside the influence of regional actors. It delves into the effects of the dynamic Sino-Russian relationship following China's Belt and Road initiative, using case studies from Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan, while also addressing broader inter-regional implications across Eurasia. The book discusses China's growing influence on inter-regional politics and its aim to contribute uniquely to globalization, contrasted with Russia's vision of a 'Greater Eurasia,' positioning Moscow as a key power. Regional actors respond to these developments, shaping the emerging dynamics. Additionally, it examines global power shifts, particularly the widening normative divide between Russia and the West and the intensifying Sino-American rivalry. The study sheds light on how these Eurasian power changes impact global governance amid contested leadership, with the US and Europe re-evaluating their relationships with both a confident China and each other. This work offers valuable insights for students and scholars in Eurasian Studies, Foreign Policy Analysis, and International Relations.
