Description
Book SynopsisGreat power politics is a practical reality of world politics and it happens on a daily basis, regardless of which international system we witness. This book seeks to emphasize the ways s these great power politics emerge within greater Eurasia. Most researchers consider China becoming powerful enough to counterbalance the US, and possible power dynamics among the rising powers such as China-India, China-Russia, and China-Japan. In this sense, the book categorizes the battlegrounds in their power politics with three aspects: national/regional/international conflicts, institutions-alliances, and projects.
Trade ReviewGreat power politics are back. This broad-ranging and challenging collection provides informative analysis of some of the key processes and players in what is now called greater Eurasia, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pamirs and taking in West Asia en route. A combination of conceptual, regional, institutional and country studies, this is essential reading for those looking to understand how great power politics affect developments in the region.
