Over the past decades, Sino-US rivalry has become a paradigm of International Relations and influences strategic, political and economic dynamics in the Eurasian region. Daniel Markey's China's western horizon: Beijing and the new geopolitics of Eurasia seeks to address this issue and Chinese influence across Eurasia more broadly. Investigating the growing economic and political weight of China and its foreign policy ambitions, the author shows us how the country has become a key player in Eurasia able to challenge US interests in the region. Drawing on first-hand accounts and historical examples, this illuminating book offers a neat overview of the key players in the region, deepening readers’ understanding of Great Powers and regional rivalry on the Eurasian chessboard. The central concern of the book is how Chinese policies in south Asia, central Asia and the Middle East affect the United States. Thus Markey devotes a significant part of the book to China's policies towards key regional players like India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and Iran, with a special focus on Indo-Pakistani, Iranian–Saudi and Sino-US rivalries. The book implicitly argues that in order to make sense of China's overseas activities it is important to consider geopolitical factors and domestic conditions of the partner countries
