Great power politics is a practical reality of world politics and it happens on a daily basis, regardless of which international system we witness. This book seeks to emphasize the ways s these great power politics emerge within greater Eurasia. Most researchers consider China becoming powerful enough to counterbalance the US, and possible power dynamics among the rising powers such as China-India, China-Russia, and China-Japan. In this sense, the book categorizes the battlegrounds in their power politics with three aspects: national/regional/international conflicts, institutions-alliances, and projects.
