China’s economic and political ascent signals an epochal change. The central question is how China’s expanding economic clout will transform the global political landscape. What kind of great power will China become? What is the scope of Chinese ambitions to create a new order? Which institutional and normative consequences result from China’s attempts to use its growing international leverage systematically? This introductory chapter first traces China’s evolving “Eurasian pivot” and discusses the domestic economic factors behind this new grand strategic narrative. Second, I propose three broad theoretical perspectives—power dynamics, regional transformation, and China’s evolving identity—which offer different insights into China’s rise as a Eurasian power. The chapter concludes by suggesting research puzzles related to the Belt and Road Initiative (BR) and notes several understudied dimensions of the BR.
