Eurasian States: Policies and Practices

Arun Mohanty

Strategic Partnerships and Diplomatic Relations among countries is built on the basis of common understanding that there is no alternative to the emergence of the multi-polar world. The current volume is a collection of articles about developments, security situations, political reforms, democratic transformation, external energy policies and trade relations among Eurasian States and their relations with India.

It also sheds light on the Russian Orthodox Churches where unsettled relations between the Orthodox Churches can affect relations with the other Christian and non-Christian religions. The book covers key topics such as:

• Indo-Russian Strategic Partnership
• Asia’s Non-Traditional Security Challenges
• Georgia-Russia Conflict – History
• Water-Energy Balance in Central Asia
• Japan-Central Asia Relations – Challenges and Opportunities
• Revival of Silk Route – Role of India-Kazakhstan
• Indo-Uzbek Socio-Economic Relations
• China-Central Asian Republics
• Eurasian Countries’ Socio-Economic Conditions
• Russian Orthodox Churches
This edition would be of immense help to the students of International Studies and particularly to the scholars studying the policies and systems of Eurasian States
