Eurasia: The Next Geopolitical Frontier?
Tune in for a special recording between Pantheon Insights founder Dimitri Zabelin and three experts on Eurasia and its role in global geopolitics.
Will Eurasia become the next geopolitical frontier between competing powers?
Last week, I held a panel discussion with three subject matter experts specializing in Eurasian geopolitics to answer this question. You can view the recording here.
The speakers were:
Bob Hamilton, Research Professor of Eurasian Studies at the U.S. Army War College
Mathieu Droin, Visiting Fellow at CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program
Jacob Mardell, Editorial Coordinator at n-ost and a well-known expert in China’s BRI program
Here are a few questions the panelists and I discussed:
-Why should policymakers and businesses care about what is happening in Eurasia?
-How do you see the US-China rivalry playing out in Eurasia and how will it impact this region’s political economy over the next decade?Â
-Will the Eurasian Economic Union become a geopolitical/geoeconomic weapon Russia will wield against the West?
-The war in Ukraine has accelerated Russia’s retreat into the East. In this context, how has the Ukraine war - if at all - impacted Eurasia’s geopolitical trajectory?Â
These are just some of the topics we explored over the course of our +1 hour discussion.
