An Emerging New Eurasian Order : Russia, China and Their Interactions toward Neighbors

​其次，它得出结论，在包括南亚/西亚在内的更广泛的欧亚共同体背景下，与美国、欧盟和日本合作发展起来的俄罗斯、中国和中亚之间的边境合作机构上海合作组织可能构成该地区新秩序的形成。本研究的理论结果是：首先，与美国等无边界大国相比，俄罗斯和中国作为一种与多个邻国接壤的“边境大国”，其对外关系协调方式有所不同。其次，受边境线及其动态调节的中俄关系与不受边境线影响的中美、美俄关系存在较大差异。最后，研究验证了欧亚四边形（美-俄-中-印）的功能如何不同，取决于子组件或三角形，即美-俄-中、美-中-印和俄-中-印是否共享边界。

The practical results of this study is, firstly, that it proposed the applicability of the "fifty-fifty," or the Sino-Russian way for resolving a disputed territory on the basis of mutual acceptance (in most cases, the territory is divided) to other cases such as in the dispute over the northern territories between Japan and Russian. Secondly, it concludes that the border cooperative body, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, among Russia, China and Central Asia, that has developed within the context of the wider Eurasian community including South/West Asia in collaboration with the US, EU and Japan could pose as a formation of a new order in this region. The theoretical results of this study is, firstly, that Russia and China-a kind of "great border powers," sharing borders with various neighbors-coordinate their foreign relations in different ways than non-border powers such as the US. Secondly, it also features that the Sino-Russian relations, regulated by the borderland and its dynamics, are far from the US-Sino and the US-Russian relations that are not affected by the border. Finally, the study verifies how the Eurasian quadrangle (the US-Russia-China-India) functions differently depending on whether the sub-components or triangles, namely the US-Russia-China, the US-China-India and Russia-China-India, share a border or not.
