“…That would have meant the defeat of the West and that power’s rise to global domination. In his works, Spykman considered and even recommended that Western powers cooperate with the continental powers (the so-called “Rimland”) that were not part of the Heartland to contain the latter, as well as with the Heartland states as a counterweight to the Rimland if those states became too powerful (Gerace, 1991).…”

Can international anarchy be stabilized, if not globally, then at least regionally? Those scholars who give a positive answer usually refer to the North Atlantic community which can be categorized as an international society from the viewpoint of the English school. The emergence of such a community outside the West is traditionally considered hardly possible. However, this article argues that it may already be emerging in Eurasia, with Russia and China being the key drivers of this trend. In the past few years, these two powers have put forward a number of major initiatives aimed at developing transport networks and logistics, and deepening economic and institutional ties between different parts of the continent. These include but are not limited to Eurasian Economic Union, supported by Russia, and China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Together, Moscow and Beijing began to form a new platform for security and economic cooperation “from Kaliningrad to Shanghai”—the community of Greater Eurasia. Based on the analysis of the geopolitical logic of these initiatives, this article suggests that a new, non-Western international society may be forming in Eurasia among the states with different political systems and cultures, but common geopolitical aims and fears.

“…Gazprom's stance on the issue is that the Nord Stream 2 project, by circumventing the traditional Ukrainian transit route and diminishing its importance, is economically justified, as the expenses necessary to upgrade the outdated Ukrainian gas infrastructure would exceed the estimated costs of the project. 26 24 For a detailed discussion of the geopolitical conceptual background, see Gerace (1991).…”

The sabotage related to the Nord Stream pipelines does not only signify the Russo ‑Ukrainian War’s escalated realities and potential future risks, also tied to the energy security of supply, but in addition to traditional economic and energetic dilemmas, it also has a specific meaning in light of classic geopolitical concepts. Our study aims to highlight that the contradictions between the direct or indirect nation-state stakeholders, even nowadays, fit into the logic of the power plays illustrated in traditional geopolitical theories. And thus, the events related to the Nord Stream 2 project, as guiding principles, underline not only the energy relations of relevant international state actors appearing in the pipeline’s environment but also in the context of geopolitical positions and the structure of potential geopolitical transformations.

Artykuł traktuje o teoretycznych asumptach weryfikowania konfliktów zbrojnych. Tekst buduje kontekst teoretyczny kategorii uwarunkowań geopolitycznych konfliktów zbrojnych, dzięki której możliwe staje się analizowanie wojen w paradygmacie badań geopolitycznych i w kontekście bezpieczeństwa międzynarodowego. Praca podaje szerokie ujęcie uwarunkowań geopolitycznych jako konstruktu teoretycznego oraz wypracowuje narzędzie operacyjne do badań nad konfliktami międzynarodowymi.
