China/Russia 2035/ Dylan Monks - 2019

The relationship between the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China is one of great complexity and importance to policymakers tasked with forming U.S. foreign policy. Considering the long-term implications for U.S. strategy, the research seeks to anticipate future trends in the Sino/Russia relationship. From a list of highlighted "driving forces" in the Sino/Russia relationship, the research points to two critical uncertainties (U.S. policy and Central Asia) that could dictate the future relationship between the two powers. The study recommends a change in U.S. policy that accounts for the growing environmental and technological tensions that are driving current geopolitical unrest in the developing world and suggests that a change is taking place in how the global community defines, conceptually, the role of great-power politics.
