The Silk Road After Ukraine: A New Vision for Eurasian Integration explores the long-term implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Eurasian supply chains and Eurasia’s development trajectory. Through an in-depth examination of China’s original motivations for launching the New Silk Road, contextualized with the potential impacts on other players along the trade corridor, this book assesses how states that were largely left out of the pre-invasion may capitalize on the new opportunities brought about by divestment in supply chains that traverse Russian and Belarusian territory. Rather than focusing exclusively on state actors, Nathan Mark Hutson also examines the role of regional and private sector players in creating coalitions for corridor prioritization. This book further illustrates why the liberation and restoration of Ukraine’s ports, along with a guarantee of freedom of commerce in the Black and Caspian Seas, are essential factors for the successful development of Eurasia as a dynamic trade space.

With rich documentation and engaging prose, Hutson upends our assumptions about the future of Chinese soft power, Sino-Russian relations, and Eurasian integration. Arguing that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was both a breakpoint and a catalyst for independent states of Eurasia to re-envision their role in the New Silk Road, the book makes a compelling case for greater economic and political integration of Central Asia and the Caucasus. Seizing the day is both a 'frightening and exhilarating' prospect. But as Hutson demonstrates, building alternative supply chains to Ukraine, driven by corridor users, will give the region a new identity and dynamic development trajectory.
