Russia between east and west, and the future of Eurasian order

Korosteleva, Elena, Paikin, Zachary (2020) Russia between east and west, and the future of Eurasian order. International Politics, 57 (6). pp. 1-23. ISSN 1384-5748. E-ISSN 1740-3898. (doi:10.1057/s41311-020-00261-5) (KAR id:82025)

Abstract

This article introduces the special issue by going beyond the traditional debates about geopolitics and great power rivalry. Instead, it examines the emergent and highly complex world of Central Eurasia, in its transformative effort to reorder itself in response to both global and local change. In particular, the paper (and the volume) focuses on two interrelated themes: one of a changing Russia, that is anxiously trying to adapt to the uncertain dynamics within and beyond the wider Eurasian space; and the other – of an emerging complexity of new order-making regional (integration) initiatives that are poised to reshape the future of international and global order. The overarching intention of this paper and the volume is to advance the need to focus on ‘the local’, to gain a more holistic understanding of the present-day challenges and the kind of global response needed to stay attuned to the increasingly complex world.
