This paper examines the dynamic of Russian-Chinese relations in the Eurasian strategic space. The author identifies Russian efforts to revive the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the relative decline of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) as benchmarks in this evolving relationship. The author concludes that Eurasian politics is a solidly founded realist game and not a process that reflects particularly high levels of coordination or multilateral integration.
