Routledge Handbook of Chinese and Eurasian International Relations

In a world defined by turbulent interactions between multiple orders, China is emerging as a major hub for the flow of power, ideas, and practices of international political and economic relations. As Beijing's outreach is bourgeoning not only in the world's remotest corners but also eyeing the depths of outer space, there is an urgent need for solid knowledge of its content, patterns, and trajectories. The Routledge Handbook of Chinese and Eurasian International Relations edited by Mher Sahakyan responds to this demand by offering a compelling, thoughtful, and granular analysis of the full spectrum of China's investments, initiatives, and infrastructure ventures across the Eurasian expanse. Stretching from the Euro-Atlantic to the Indo-Pacific, the contributions to Sahakyan's collection make a powerful case that it is in the complex Eurasian environments that China's ambitions simultaneously shape and are shaped by an array of local actors and external powers. Drawing on detailed case studies, commanding knowledge, and engaging research, the volume provides a detailed account of the current likely future directions of China's growing footprint around the world. Owing to its timely insights and impressive empirical scope, this Handbook will be an invaluable resource for scholars, diplomats, business people and students.

The Handbook of Chinese and Eurasian International Relations provides a grounded analysis of the complex nuances and perspectives on the contentious and fluid geopolitics and political economy centring in the Eurasian continent's regions. The sections that contain contributions from locally-based researchers are especially helpful. My congratulations to the editor, Dr Mher Sahakyan and the expert contributors for adding a timely addition to the literature on this important dimension of international relations and development.

It is critically important for decision-makers, businesses, scholars and other international actors to understand the emerging Multipolar World Order 2.0, and the bold Routledge Handbook of Chinese and Eurasian International Relations makes an important contribution with its wide scope and timely analysis of China's emerging role in Eurasian politics, economy and high-technology spheres. The diversity of authors makes this handbook a reliable source, as it includes research of accomplished scholars from Western, Eastern, Northern and Southern leading universities and think tanks.
