Geopolitical Dimensions of the Russian-Ukrainian War: A Study in the Changing Political Map of the World According to the New Political Philosophy of the Russian Federation - Eurasianism

Abstract

After

the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990-1991, the shape of the world changed and its political and demographic map was altered, as new countries emerged from the disintegration of former alliances within the republics of the Soviet Union, such as Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, among others. The political map was reconfigured according to the distinct political philosophies of each of these independent states, preceded by fierce civil wars that claimed tens of thousands of civilian and military lives. This prompted Russia to establish a new alliance under the name of the Russian Federation, which some former Soviet republics joined. These alliances resulted in the birth of a new theory that may potentially change the political map of the world in the near future. This research presents the Eurasian theory within a new conceptual framework, supported by maps illustrating the research idea.
