In China’s Western Horizon, Daniel S. Markey previews how China’s efforts to transform its wealth and economic power into potent tools of global influence are likely to play out across the swath of Eurasia that includes South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

On balance, Markey anticipates that China’s deepening involvement will play to the advantage of regional strongmen and exacerbate the political tensions within and among Eurasian states. To make the most of America’s limited influence among China’s western horizon (and elsewhere), he argues that U.S. policymakers should pursue a selective and localized strategy in Eurasia as they navigate a future of global competition with Beijing.

Daniel Markey is a senior research professor at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). He also serves as the academic director of the SAIS Global Policy Program. He teaches courses in international politics and policy. Dr. Markey’s latest book, China’s Western Horizon: Beijing and the New Geopolitics of Eurasia, was published by Oxford University Press in March 2020.
