contents Distrust in the heartland: explaining the Eurasian “Organization Gap” through the Russo-Chinese relations Valdir da Silva Bezerra Henoch Gabriel Mandelbaum Relaciones Internacionales Eurasia Russian Foreign Policy Chinese Foreign Policy International Institutions Historical Institutionalism The concept of Eurasia is one of the most important elements of geopolitics, dating back to the beginning of the last century, and whose development owes much to the works of geographers and political thinkers alike. Nevertheless, although comprising a big portion of the planet’s political space, this region suffers from a relative ‘organizational gap’, especially if compared with neighboring regions such as Western Europe and Southeast Asia for instance. This paper contends that the lack of an overarching political arrangement in Eurasia owes much to particular aspects of the Russia-China relationship, which encompasses Great Power aspirations and competing organizational schemesin the region. Different views about Eurasia itself, associated with a quest for leadership in regional institution-building, put both Russia and China on competitive tracks, essentially obstructing the formation of a broad political design in the broader continent. To substantiate our point, the present work applies certain concepts from historical institutionalism, whose mechanisms enabled a thorough evaluation of patterns of inception, continuation, and change of political institutions, alliances and principles affecting the Sino-Russian relationship over time, as well as its effects on Eurasia’s ‘organizational gap’ per se. 2022 artículo científico 2178-8839 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=744181030002 pt http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7441 Conjuntura Austral application/pdf Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Conjuntura Austral (Brasil) Num.61 Vol.13
