A Challenge to Unipolar Hegemony: Understanding the contours Sino-Russian Military Cooperation
Sino-Russian military cooperation has a long history stemming from their shared ideological leanings during the twentieth century. However, this military cooperation has evolved greatly, especially during the last two decades during which this multifaceted cooperation has emerged as a balancing force to US unipolar hegemony since the end of the cold War. This paper seeks to understand the history, development, and ongoing dynamics of the Chinese and Russian military cooperation that seeks to strategically invalidate the chaos rendered in the wake of US invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan and a host of other interventions throughout the world. This paper also attempts to validate the potential of this cooperation to act as a stabilizing force in the sphere of global politics as the world moves from unipolar hegemony to a skewed multi-polarity in the coming decades.
