Type: Members event

The speaker will present his groundbreaking new study of Sino-Russian relations. He will argue that the relationship reflects a new geopolitics, one that eschews formal alliances in favour of more flexible and opportunistic arrangements. The dynamic between these two emerging powers is one of strategic convenience rather than strategic partnership. It is shaped not by a shared vision of the world, but by expediency, pragmatism, and cold-eyed perceptions of national interests.

This event will mark the official UK launch of the book Axis of Convenience: Moscow, Beijing and the New Geopolitics.
