Geopolitical Imaginaries in Russian Foreign Policy: The Evolution of ‘Greater Eurasia’

David G. Lewis

Europe-Asia Studies, 2018, vol. 70, issue 10, 1612-1637

Abstract: Russian foreign policy thinkers have used a succession of geopolitical imaginaries to articulate a Russian role and identity in the post-Cold War era. This essay analyses one such spatial project, the idea of ‘Greater Eurasia’, which imagines a new geopolitical geometry centred on Sino–Russian cooperation. The ‘Greater Eurasia’ discourse provides a new role for Russia in international affairs but also makes far-reaching claims about the nature of the emerging, post-liberal world order. The essay concludes with an analysis of the main challenges to the ‘Greater Eurasia’ project.
