The Architecture of Alignment: The Russia–China Relationship and International Agreements

Thomas Ambrosio

Europe-Asia Studies, 2017, vol. 69, issue 1, 110-156

Abstract: The relative durability of the growing alignment between Russia and China is perhaps the central question regarding this relationship. This article examines the degree to which cooperation and policy coordination have become institutionalised between these two states through the creation of a complex and self-reinforcing network of bilateral and multilateral agreements. Grounded in the literature on treaty nestedness and utilising social network analysis, this article examines 154 bilateral Russia–China agreements and 54 agreements and declarations signed under the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
