Greater Eurasia: From Geopolitical Pole to International Society?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Return of Eurasia

Abstract

The last few years have seen a radical shift that could change the entire structure of international relations. In general terms, it is the transition from bipolarity to multipolarity. An important aspect of this process is the formation of alternative systems of international governance, especially on the regional level.

This is a revised and expanded version of an article that was originally published in the Journal of Eurasian Studies, Volume 12 (1), pp. 28–45, under the title “Sino-Russian rapprochement and Greater Eurasia: From geopolitical pole to international society?” https://doi.org/10.1177/18793665211000057, © 2021 by the authors.
