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.
