  • More about China's Western Horizon: Beijing and the New Geopolitics of Eurasia

China is transforming its wealth and economic power into tools of global political influence, but its foreign policy initiatives will be shaped and redefined by local and regional politics. Daniel S. Markey previews how China's efforts are likely to play out along its western horizon, benefiting regional strongmen and exacerbating political tensions. US policymakers should pursue a selective and localized strategy to compete with China.

A comprehensive examination of the interplay between global and regional politics in the vast expanse of Eurasia, encompassing South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Under the visionary guidance of President Xi Jinping, China is skillfully harnessing its wealth and economic might to shape its global political influence. However, the trajectory of China's foreign policy endeavors, particularly its ambitious Belt and Road initiative, will be molded and reimagined as they grapple with the complex realities of local and regional politics beyond its borders. In his insightful work, China's Western Horizon, Daniel S. Markey offers apreview of how China's actions are likely to unfold across the diverse tapestry of Eurasia, including South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Drawing from extensive interviews, extensive travels, and meticulous historical research, Markey paints a vivid portrait of how perceptions of China vary across countries such as Pakistan, Kazakhstan, and Iran. Overall, Markey predicts that China's increasing engagement will likely benefit regional strongmen while exacerbating political tensions within and among Eurasian states. To maximize America's limited influence in China's western horizon and beyond, he advocates for a selective and localized strategy that aligns with America's specific objectives in Eurasia and positions itself to effectively compete with China in the long run.
