Über dieses E-Book

After the Cold War, a new era began in the Eurasian region, with the countries that gained their independence from the USSR acquiring a place in the international system. After 1991, the absence of strong international gravity in Russia increased the positive relations of many countries with the West. As this book shows, across the world, there are regions caught between identity and power. In this respect, the ideological origin of the Russian Federation’s foreign policy goals is connected with its position as a great power. On this note, the book analyses the great powers’ challenges in Eurasia within the framework of strategic interests, conflict, and cooperation.
