Globalization with Eurasian Characteristics

Abstract

The financial crisis in 2008 has exposed the weaknesses of neo-liberal globalization driven by Euro-Atlantic powers. It is almost certain that globalization will now be increasingly driven by the Eurasian led initiatives such as Silk Road and Eurasian regional integration projects. The success of this globalization will depend on the nature and the future of Chinese-Russian relations as well as the convergence of their grand strategies of Eurasian globalization. This paper will addresses the following questions: What are the key characteristics of this model in this new phase of Eurasian globalization? What is the ideology of Eurasianism? To what extent do Chinese and Russian geopolitical perceptions of Eurasia converge or diverge? Will Russian and Chinese grand strategies of Eurasian integration inevitably be converging or colliding?
