The Making of Eurasia delves into the intricate web of China and Russia's Eurasian policies,spanning from competition to cooperation,and the pivotal role played by regional actors in the middle. This comprehensive book explores the profound impact and varied responses to the dynamic Sino-Russian interaction in the aftermath of China's Belt and Road initiative,with a particular focus on the case studies of Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan. However, its scope extends beyond these countries, encompassing the broader inter-regional implications across the Eurasian landscape.

In this context, China's growing influence on inter-regional politics and its aspiration to make a distinctive Chinese contribution to globalization intersect with Russia's vision of a "Greater Eurasia," in which Moscow seeks to assert its indispensability as a dominant power. As a result, other regional actors adopt policies that both respond to and co-shape the centrifugal forces arising from this interplay. Meanwhile, power shifts are underway on a global scale, driven by the widening normative divide between Russia and the West, as well as the intensification of the Sino-American rivalry.

The Making of Eurasia thus sheds light on the far-reaching consequences of Eurasian power shifts on global governance in a world where leadership is contested, and the US and Europe are re-defining their relationships not only towards a self-confident China but also towards each other. This study offers invaluable insights to students and scholars of Eurasian Asia Studies, Foreign Policy Analysis, and International Relations, broadening their understanding of the complex dynamics shaping the region and the world.
