| This article presents a systematic analysis of the foreign expert and analytical discourse on the problems of the formation of regional security institutions in the Eurasian geostrategic space. The author examines the key moments in the works of Western scholars: identification of the notion «new great game»; Russian position and interests in the region; analysis of the activity in Eurasia of the international centers of power, the United States and China; the approaches of other regional actors to the security architecture formation. The author points out that in many works of foreign scholars adaptive responses are presented of some Central Asian countries resorting to multi-vector diplomacy. Such responses consist in formulating their own rules. General agreement on the main issues and lack of real discussion in this field of research - except the division between supporters and opponents of Russia inherited from sovietologists of the Cold War times - mean that Western scholars are willing to interpret the problems of the region as a priority. |
