Abstract:
In the post-Cold War era, the competition between West and East – naval and land powers – for influence in Eurasia in the form of the “New” Eastern Question is more dangerous than ever. The culmination of the classical Eastern Question in the 19th century led to the extinction of the great European empires. Today we are experiencing the peak of the New Eastern Question. This article examines the main parameters of the Eastern Question in the 19th century and, through comparison with the modern era, concludes that the culmination of the “New” Eastern Question will lead to the establishment of a new world order.
