Summary
Centering on Russia’s role in the region, this edited volume provides an understanding of patterns of confrontation and cooperation in Eurasia. The contributing authors grant particular attention to the central role of energy production and supply in the Russian-Western – and increasingly Russian-Chinese – completion across Eurasia. A key strength of this study is that it provides conceptual explanations for particular phenomena that are independently examined within a variety of academic sub-disciplines. Combining perspectives from experts in domestic and regional politics and specialists in international security, Russia, Eurasia and the New Geopolitics of Energy will appeal to a broad spectrum of scholars and researchers.
