Research On Russian Greater Eurasian Strategy And Its Impact

The Russian Greater Eurasian Strategy first refers to “Greater Eurasian Partnership”.The failure of Russia's “Greater Europe” strategy and bad relations with the US and Europe after the Ukraine Crisis contributed to Russia's strategic turn.In less than a year after its approval,the term of “Greater Eurasian” has changed twice and finally became “Eurasian Economic Partnership”.If “Greater Eurasian Partnership” is Russia's “correction” to its “turning east” strategy,the final precision of “partnership” to “economic” field reflects the importance Russia attaches to regional economic cooperation.Russia's regional cooperation goals are similar to China's OBOR Initiative and it was proposed shortly after OBOR Initiative.Although China and Russia have signed cooperation statement between OBOR and EAEU,Russia issued a new strategic in the same geographical area.The article sorts out the background and content of Greater Eurasian Strategy and discusses the impact of the initiative on the relationship in Eurasia.The article holds that Russia's behavior of turning to the east based on geopolitical factors is rational.It will eventually bring economic effect to Russia and react its political influence.Meanwhile,there is continuity between different terms of “partnership”.If the strategy of Greater Eurasia is highly implemented and coordinated with OBOR Initiative,Eurasian Regionalism will certainly develop.
