Zusammenfassung

The Routledge Handbook of Chinese and Eurasian International Relations explores China's relations with the Eurasian continent's regions and countries in a multipolar era, providing an equal and in a balanced platform for scholars and practitioners from East, West, North, and South. This diversity enriches the contribution, giving it a dynamic ability to examine sources in different languages and cover a vast geographic region.

Divided into ten parts, the book analyses the major powers in a multipolar world order, China's political and economic interests in Post-Soviet Eurasia, Middle East, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Arctic, and its relations with the Eurasian Economic Union and NATO. International technology and the environmental experts consider the impact of the Belt and Road Initiative, along with other international economic and transport corridors and examine China's multilateral relations and Digital Silk Road and e-governance roles.

This groundbreaking book will be of interest to policymakers, businessmen, scholars, and students of area studies, cybersecurity and digitalization, economics, security studies, the politics of international trade, Middle East politics, foreign policy, global governance, and international organizations.
