Relations between Russia, China and Japan fit into the logic of strategic triangle: each player recognizes its importance and Russia-centred relationship are affected by other bilateral\u00a0relations.<\/p>\n

Dr. Anna Kireeva will speak about the recalibration of the triangle since 2014, when Russia’s relations with the West deteriorated\u00a0due to the Ukrainian crisis and it began pivoting to Asia. Dr. Kireeva will focus on Russia’s relations with China and Japan within the\u00a0strategic triangle framework.
\nThe period of 2014-2016 can be summarized as a shift to a \u2018marriage\u2019between Russia and China. While Russia-Japan relations\u00a0deteriorated due to the anti-Russian sanctions and slump in trade, China-Japan\u00a0relations remained tense with strategic competition on the rise and the\u00a0persistent conflict over the Senkaku\/ Diaoyu islands. On the contrary,\u00a0Russia-China relations in politics and security flourished, partly on the anti-US grounds. Japan\u2019s attempt to mend relations with Russia in 2016 was highly welcomed by its partner, as the results of Russia\u2019s Asian\u00a0pivot acceleration in the previous years demonstrated a trend towards\u00a0forming asymmetrical relations with China and a risk of overdependence\u00a0upon it. With Russia-Japan relations significantly improving under the\u00a0logic of hedging and balancing vis-\u00e0-vis China for Russia and Japan\u00a0respectively, a \u2018romantic triangle\u2019 is being formed. As this type of triangle
\ndepends on the efficiency of the policy by the pivot and satisfaction of the other two parties, it remains to be seen if Russia is able to\u00a0realize a pivotal role it is striving to play. Russia-Japan rapprochement\u00a0being fragile, it is still not clear if it leads to qualitatively improved relationship between the two. To the contrast, Russia-China\u00a0relations remain solid with rapidly developing economic interaction. In
\naddition to that, external factors including China-Japan-U.S. strategic\u00a0triangle as well as Russia\u2019s relations with the United States will also have important repercussions for the future configuration of this\u00a0triangle.<\/p>\n
