Power relations are always a current and interesting topic for researchers. The intersection of economics and geopolitics today can give us a new perspective on traditional things. With addressing power relations in Central Asia, I have sought to contribute to the academic debate on the transfer of power from a different perspective. Power relations are always a current and interesting topic for researchers. Russia and China are two powerful states whose interests and goals intersect in Central Asia. China's economic expansion in the region leads to the question of whether or not the two power states can work together within one region. In this work, we will first look at the roles of Russia and China in Central Asia. In particular, will be analyzed economic and strategic cooperation with the help of regional organizations. this master thesis focuses on the period from 2001 to 2019. In the second part of the work by applying of power transition theory from American political scientist Abram Fim Kenneth Organski, will be analyzed whether the Russia-China relationship is closer to cooperation or confrontation.
