This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the status quo of Sino-Russian relations against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine marks a turning point in international relations. Russia has obviously underestimated the united stand of the West following its invasion of Ukraine. The international isolation, boycott of exports, and Western economic sanctions will harm Russia's development in the long term. And China, Russia's most important political partner, is confronted with a dilemma: supporting Russia too visibly, will further alienate its Western partners. On the other hand, Russia expects support from its strategic partner in a challenging situation like this. Written in an easy and accessible style, this book examines how both actors handle this difficult situation and outlines what the future of the China-Russia partnership will look like.

This book analyses how China overcame its meagre reputation in the early 1990s to become an aggressively growing military power and rising threat to the international system. The author focuses on China’s new multilateral foreign policy approach, ambitious military build-up programme and economic cooperation initiatives. This book presents a much-needed comparative perspective of China in terms of foreign policy, seeking to develop analytical tools to assess China’s motivations and moves. The author suggests that understanding China’s new foreign policy, its tactics in multilateral organisations, and approaches to conflict resolutions are elementary to grasp the new realities of international relations, particularly relevant to newly established institutions in the evolving Asian political system which require basic knowledge for analysing the politics in this continent. This book uses an innovative approach, a qualitative analysis of China’s foreignpolicy addressing criteria of reputation management, to overcome the perceived ‘China threat’.

This book offers the prequel to China's successful implementation of its New Silk Road, the so-called Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The preconditions for the establishment of especially the land route between China and Western Europe have been set decades ago in Central Asia. In the political, security, and economic realms, China had to find arrangements with Russia as well as the Central Asian states. Border disputes had to be resolved, a security architecture and political cooperation was lacking. The key to BRI's success today lies in China's successful diplomacy of the 1990s and 2000s. This book tells the exciting story behind the largest geopolitical infrastructure project of our time.
