IN SEARCH OF MULTIPOLARITY. DIMENSIONS AND PERSPECTIVES OF THE RUSSIAN-CHINESE PARTNERSHIP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2009, Vol 30, Issue 1
Abstract
The international era that begun after the Cold War’s end is characterized mainly by threats on security, ethnic tensions and geopolitical instability. America, the undisputed winner of the ideological confrontation with the USSR, finds its supremacy contested, especially from the new rising powers of Eurasia. For a better representation of their own interests, China and the Russian Federation initiated in the late 1990s a “strategic partnership”. Its major aim consists in counterbalancing the American pre-eminence over Eurasia, and especially over Central Asia. However, the contesters have their own major differences to settle and this aspect influences in a great extent the nature and the functionality of their partnership. As the title announces, the present paper is trying to present a general view over the dimensions and perspectives the Russian- Chinese relations have at the beginning of the 21st century.
