Regime Change in Turkey: Neoliberal Authoritarianism, Islamism and Hegemony

mentalization of the Caspian Sea basin energy resources with Russia’s terms (p. 157). Through this compartmentalization of the Caspian energy resources, ‘Russia has strengthened its role as a sole great power and quasi-institutionalized its hegemony in the region’ (p. 146). Chapter 7 examines China’s energy policy in the world. China is a growing great power not only in Eurasian politics but also in world politics. China develops its relations with regional countries as well as with Russia. States address economic and security concerns from a neoliberal institutionalist vantage point, and there is cooperative competition between states. Although this book is an insightful analysis of Eurasian politics at both national and international levels, there are some major issues that should have been addressed. Firstly, while the author examines secessionist conflicts at the national level, he does not mention the international dimension of these conflicts. Particularly, the war between Russia and Georgia and Ukrainian conflicts are national-level reflections of the international level geopolitical struggle over western Eurasia between Russia and the West. Secondly, regarding the international level, the author did not mention political competition between Eurasian countries and regional alliance preferences, like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, or the competition between different actors who want to use Caspian energy resources given China’s growing energy needs. Eurasia is a vast region consisting of small states, great powers, and complex inter-state and intra-state relations that needs to be studied. Sotiriou’s book contributes to the literature that addresses the national and international politics of Eurasia’s post-Soviet developments and the survival strategies of nations in the anarchical system. Overall, Politics and International Relations in Eurasia is a significant contribution to the Eurasian studies literature and a valuable resource to political scientists interested in the region.
