This book argues that the World Order is no longer unipolar and the war in Ukraine proves this fact. As this study discribes and theorizes, it has been transformed into a Multipolar World Order 2.0 stage. This title critically examines Chinese, US, Russian, EU, Indian and number of powers cooperation and competition over security, diplomatic, economic and cyberspace issues.

Accomplished scholars from different regions of the Eurasian continent consider the impact of Russo-Ukrainian war, Sino-Russian strategic partnership, China's relations with the US and EU, the influence of the Belt and Road Initiative, the expansion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Eurasian Economic Union, China’s policies in the Middle East, Central Asia, Indo-Asia Pacific, the Caucasus, Central and Eastern Europe, as well as focus on details of growing contradictions and collaboration in Eurasian continent over markets, technologies, digital leadership, vaccine distribution, and financial institutions, in the Era of the Multipolar World Order 2.0.

Showing that the US-centred unipolar world order is replaced by Multipolar World Order 2.0 where conflicting powers fight to keep or extend their spheres of influence, this volume will be of great interest to decision-makers, diplomats, scholars and students of international relations, politics, global governance, Eurasian studies, Chinese studies, cybersecurity, economics, and for those studying human security, international organizations, and geopolitics.
