ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the new security strategies of the major powers in the region. The points of convergence and divergence among these powers help us to understand why and how fluctuations occur in the foreign policy orientations of the Eurasian states. The chapter aims to answer the question of whether these new 'structured' relations in this changing regional environment limit or ease the role of Turkey on the Eurasian mainland. Nowadays, the United States is assumed to be 'the new power of Eurasia', indicating Washington's acquisition of basing rights for its military forces in the region. The new geopolitics in the Middle East and the American military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan have led Russia. China and India to reassess their earlier positions on the key issues of Eurasian security. Since the end of the Cold War, the possibility of a Moscow-Beijing-Delhi strategic triangle in Eurasian affairs has been debated in academic circles.
