| Summary: | The paper investigates whether the strategic alliance of China and Russia
could create a sufficient counterbalance to US domination in the Post-Cold
War era and to assist positioning of Beijing as a global power on the rise.
The rapprochement between Russia and China grew gradually from the stage of
political declarations and coordination during the first decade of the
twenty-first century into a strategic partnership based on the Treaty on
Good-Neighbourliness and Friendly Cooperation of 2001. The author analyses
the plausible implications of the Treaty as a framework for the established
partnership, and confirms its value by increased value of trade and the
conclusion of the so-called gas agreements, which should allow the export of
Russian gas to the Chinese market. The author concludes that the success of
the China-Russia partnership will be equally determined by the US policy in
Asia and the Pacific as well as the ability of both countries to resolve
potential disagreements that could stem from diverse national interests in
Central Asia. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 179029:
