Oxford Belarus Observatory, in collaboration with the Research Centre of the Office of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya (OST) and the Institute for Global Sustainable Development (IGSD) of the University of Warwick, is compiling a series of Policy Briefs based on the discussions taking place in our jointly convened Expert Webinar series.
We invite you to read the Policy Brief we have composed based on the “China, Belarus and Russia: a geopolitical triangle” Expert Webinar, which took place on May 25, 2023.
This policy brief focuses on Belarus’ relations with Russia and China. While Russia remains a strong anchor for Lukashenka’s regime, China is an actor to diversify its foreign relations and reduce economic and political dependence on Russia. This policy brief explores the significance of these relations in regional geopolitics.
