“…Çin yönetimi Avrasya genelinde daha çok ikili anlaşmalarla ilişkilerini geliştirmeye çalışırken, Rus yöneticiler bölgeselleşme çerçevesine daha çok önem vermektedir. Çin'in tek başına eski Sovyet piyasalarına nüfuzunu önlemek adına bölgesel bir taktik olarak Ruslar ortaklıkların kurulmasından ve "kurumsal ilişkiler"in oluşturulmasından yana tavır sergilemektedirler (Baizakova, 2013).…”

“…Doğal gaz ve petrol boru hatlarının yaygınlaştırılması, Rusya'nın hem Avrupa, hem de Asya'daki siyasal mevcudiyeti açısından çok önem arz etmektedir. Nitekim Şanghay İşbirliği Örgütü'nün en stratejik tartışma konularından birisi de Orta Asya merkezli bir enerji nakil şebekelerinin güvenliğinin sağlanmasıdır; bunun yanı sıra Rusya'nın Orta Asya'daki nakil şebekelerinin işleyişini kendi ağları içerisinde bağımlı bir biçimde devam ettirmek ve bu ülkelerin uluslararası piyasalara doğrudan irtibatını sınırlandırmak arzusu da bulunmaktadır (Baizakova, 2013). Bu açıdan bakıldığında, Orta Asya coğrafyasında Kazakistan ve Türkmenistan enerji alanında Rusya için en önemli ülkeler konumundadır; nitekim Kazakistan'ın Avrasya bölgeselleşmesi içerisindeki konumu, hem stratejik aktör olarak, hem de jeo-ekonomik açılardan denge politikası izlemesini zorunlu kılmaktadır.…”

Economic Regionalisation in the Russian Foreign Policy: Is it Possible to talk about the Eurasianist Model of Integration?

In this paper, we try how the idea of economic regionalism has developed within the framework of the interests of the Russian foreign policy, which adopted a Eurasianist rhetoric for nearly fifteen years. As the trends of globalisation spread over the world after the end of the Cold War period, the regional integration movements also gained speed with different forms and contents. Meanwhile the countries in the post-Soviet geography adopted different political approaches towards regionalisation and globalisation by taking into consideration their own capabilities and interests. At its own side, Russia was in search of integration within the world economy by trying to implement its own regionalist policies both at the level of the CIS area and with the neighbouring countries like China and the EU. The Eurasianist discourse has no doubt such impact on Russian leadership’s choices of partners and orientations for economic regionalisation. At this point, we want to discuss if it is possible to talk about some “Eurasianist model of regional integration” as a new idea which can combine, at one side, the institutional integration process within the CIS area and, at the other, the strong regional cooperation with the Asian economic partners like China. This model can be also Russia’s answer to embrace both globalism and regionalism by preserving its own hegemonic expectations after the Soviet legacy.

“…For centuries, in Central Asia both world and regional powers have sought to increase their political, economic and military effects. While world powers have different policies for this region, the main concern of the regional countries is the threat to the security of their borders (Kuralai, 2013). After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this threat remained as a main issue for the Central Asian countries, particularly for China and Russia that have long borders with Central Asian countries.…”

This paper studies the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)'s objectives, its expanding process, the advantages and disadvantages of the new and old member states and SCO-Turkey relations. There is an increasing political and economic rivalry between SCO's two important members (China and Russia). This study shows that China and Russia have different policies to contol the Central Asia. Russia has attempted to increase its influence in the region with the help of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), while China aims to do it with the help of the SCO. On the other hand, Turkey has increased its impact in the Central Asia policy and Turkey-SCO close relations will also play a significant role both in the SCO and Central Asia politics. It is also examined that the SCO policies are majorly driven by China. Thus, Chinese and Russian political and economic rivalry is concerned to deteriorate SCO functions. INTRODUCTION For centuries, in Central Asia both world and regional powers have sought to increase their political, economic and military effects. While world powers have different policies for this region, the main concern of the regional countries is the threat to the security of their borders (Kuralai, 2013). After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this threat remained as a main issue for the Central Asian countries, particularly for China and Russia that have long borders with Central Asian countries.
