Reviews

“Russia, Eurasia and the new Geopolitics of Energy moves eastwards, aiming to provide an understanding of the patterns of confrontation and cooperation in Eurasia … . the chapters have been organized well, providing new experiences and ideas. The editors should be congratulated. … chapters will certainly challenge every scholar’s thoughts about Eurasia by providing contrasting views and theories, whilst examining the challenges to all of the countries themselves.” (Carol Weaver, Slavic Review, 2017)

“This volume expands the analysis to assess how Russia’s conflictual relations with the West have affected the broader Eurasian region … this is an enlightening and instructive volume which sheds much light on contemporary developments in Central Asia and in Sino- Russian relations.” (R. Dannreuther, East European Review, Vol. 94 (4), October, 2016)

“This edited volume joins the debates about changing power dynamics in Central Asia and its implications for regional security and cooperation. … the book provides quite a good geopolitically-realist lensed overview of politics in Eurasia.” (Irina Kustova, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 68 (6), 2016)

''A lively collection that focuses on Russia's 'pivot to the East' and places it within a wider geopolitical context. It reads like a new 'Great Game' but this time the competing powers are Russia and China, and the prize is the mineral wealth on which we all depend. I can think of no better way of trying to understand it than to read this book.'' Professor Stephen White, University of Glasgow, UK

''A must-read! This is a thrilling and long-overdue analysis of the emerging new Great Game over Central Asia and its energy and other resources between a receding Russian empire and a rising Chinese empire, and with a firm foundation in current neorealist and neoinstitutional theories.'' Professor Bertil Nygren, Stockholm University, Sweden
