Chakwin, Mark Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.) Security Studies Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited This thesis analyzes major aspects of Sino-Russian relations during the first decade of the twenty-first century. It has two main objectives. First, it provides a more detailed understanding of Sino-Russian relations as they pertain to the dynamics affecting the relationship in the Russian Far East (RFE), the formation and evolution of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and Sino-Russian trends and dynamics regarding arms sales. This endeavor is accomplished by a detailed historical analysis of the background and developments over the past decade as they relate to each subject area. In addition, relevant examples or cases have been provided to amplify the analytical value in each area. This historical analysis will assist with constructing the second, more important objective of this research: To identify the general themes and trends that permeate each aspect of Sino-Russian interactions analyzed in order to decipher the substance of the relationship, and how it is maintained, under the current state of affairs. Identifying these will allow for a more cogent projection of short- and long-term prospects for Sino-Russian relations as they move forward in the twenty-first century. 2012-03-14T17:44:24Z 2012-03-14T17:44:24Z 2010-09 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/5155 671491606 This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
