صف‎آرایی ایران، روسیه و چین در مقابل آمریکا در صفحۀ ژئوپلیتیک اوراسیا

به اعتقاد بسیاری از اندیشمندان روابط بین الملل، قرن بیست و یکم را باید قرن اوراسیا دانست که تسط بر آن سیادت و سروری بر جهان را ایجاد می کند. ایالات متحده از جمله بازیگرانی است که در تلاش است تا تحّکم همه جانبه خود را در این منطقه ژئوپلیتیک توسعه بخشد. در این راستا؛ مثلث ایران، روسیه و چین با هدف تامین اهداف و منافع منطقه ای، توانمندی های خود را در ایجاد اتحاد استراتژیکِ ضدهژمون، به‏ کار گرفته اند و مانع از تحقق اهداف و سیاست های یکجانبه گرایانه آمریکا در اوراسیا می شوند. شرایط پیش گفته، این پرسش را بوجود می آورد که سه کشور ایران، روسیه و چین برای مقابله و کاهش نفوذ آمریکا در اوراسیا دست به چه سیاست ها و اقداماتی زده اند؟ فرضیۀ قابل‎طرح این است که از آنجایی که سه کشور ایران، روسیه و چین به‎طورفزاینده خود را مورد اهداف آمریکا می بینند؛ لذا برداشت تهدیدآمیز و ترس از محاصره‎شدن، آن ها را در صفحه شطرنج اوراسیا دور هم گرد آورده است. در این راستا، سه کشور، ضمن مخالفت با تحمیل هژمونی جهانی آمریکا، در راستای مهار و به‎زانودرآوردن این بازیگر سلطه طلب گام برمی دارند و از این طریق به‎ شکل دادن ترتیبات و نظم منطقه ای موردنظر با هدف تضمین و تامین اهداف و سیاست های منطقه ­ای خود در صحنه سیاست اوراسیا مبادرت می ورزند. تحقیق حاضر با استفاده از روش توصیفی-تحلیلی و با تکیه بر نظریۀ ژئوپلیتیک شکل می گیرد.

Iran, Russia, and China Layout against US in Eurasia Geopolitical Arena

Extended abstractIntroductionThe United States has to withdraw the powers in Eurasian geopolitical region, such as Russia, China, and Iran; and increase its influence in this region to draw up a new Eurasian geopolitical map. The interests of this country can be evaluated in addition to maintaining strategic patterns from the perspective of dominating energy reserves, securing oil pipelines, countering the influence of Russia, China and Iran. Russia, on the other hand, as a serious critic of US policies will seek to gain regional supremacy in Eurasia, following the relative establishment of political stability. it will certainly be a challenge for US policies in the region. China has cultural, economic and security links with some of the Eurasian countries, establishing itself as a great power by relying on worldwide economic power. These confrontations and disagreements with Washington apos;s unilateral policies in the Eurasia geopolitical region with the presence of the Islamic Republic of Iran have become a strategic triangle for the establishment of a barrier policy.Review of LiteratureThe term of geopolitics, as a controversial and ambiguous word, was first introduced by the Swedish scientist Radolf Kilen in the 1899 and in the concept of knowledge of the analysis of geography and politics relationship came to contemporary political geography field. Geopolitics is the study of international relations and contrasts concerning the geographies. In other words, the influence of geographical factors such as the location, distance, and distribution of natural and human resources on international relations is a geopolitical issue (Braden Shelley, 2000: 5).MethodologyDue to the nature of the subject, library and documentary methods have been used for data collection and qualitative analysis has been used for data analysis in which the classification, evaluation, comparison and analysis of the data are done to test the research hypothesis. The nature of this research is descriptiveanalytical.Findings and DiscussionEurasia as the Earth apos;s Heartland is a key pillar of world domination. Indeed, specific indicators of the strategic regions of the world should be sought in this region. This is as important fact as Mackinder says: Any power that can dominate Eurasia can control the world (Nazemroaya Halliday, 2012: 67 68). The United States has placed the acquisition and consolidation of world hegemony in the forefront of its determination, actions, and foreign policy responses, and at this time seeks to maintain its position by preventing the emergence of a global challenge power and even the formation of an antihegemonic alliance. Therefore, it seeks to prevent the creation of antihegemon alliances with a different mix of Iran, Russia, China, and India by infiltrating Russia apos;s backyard, controlling China, and communicating with their neighbours. In the new conditions of the international system in which any power is met with resistance, the Eurasian region has the most potential to form an antihegemon axis for encountering America. Countries such as Russia, China, and Iran that are recently recognized as primarily regional powers, and some political scholars believe they have the potential to form an antihegemon axis in the Eurasian region. Brzezinski warned that the emergence of a Eurasian hostile coalition could challenge American supremacy. The aggressive nature of US strategy is clearly evident in Brzezinski apos;s remarks. He identified the potential Eurasian coalition as a potential antihegemonic coalition or North Atlantic anticoalition formed by the help of Iran, Russia, and China coalition, with China at its center (Brzezinski, 1998: 32). In 1999, Beijing and Moscow were well aware of what was happening as well as future events. They were also well aware of US foreign policy. China and Russia signed a good neighbourly alliance and friendly collaboration on July 24, 2001. this happened less than two months after 9/11 events. A reciprocal defense alliance was established against NATO and the US, and a military network was established around China, pushing them beyond their territorial and bilateral defense integrity (Nazemroaya, 2012: 6 7). As well as strengthening its military structure and capability in the domestic arena based on the principle of selfreliance, Iran has also had a presence in regional coalition and mechanisms which undoubtedly, the most important of them is Iran apos;s presence in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization as one of the most important and comprehensive regional security mechanisms in Central Eurasia. (Karami and Kozegar Kalaji, 1393: 141).Washington apos;s strategy for Central Asia after 2014 is to build communications channels along infrastructure such as the Northern Distribution Network and the New Silk Road with the aim of laying the foundations for a longterm structural relationship in Central Asia for the period following its military withdrawal (Javadyarjmand salaverzizade, 1396:281). By establishing and leading new international organizations, China and Russia are also trying to challenge USled Western Organizations and institutions. Iran apos;s formal accession to Tracey (Europe, Caucasus, Asia) is a major step in breaking isolationist policies against Iran as well as strengthening Iran apos;s transit status and increasing trade volume in Iran apos;s southern route ( Karami Kouzegarkaleji, 1393:139). China is well aware that it is highly vulnerable to a US leadership military strike on oil resources. That is why China is expanding its naval bases, so it insists and presses repeatedly to build onshore energy corridors and oil terminals directly from Central Asia and the Russian Federation to China. China apos;s cooperation with Iran, Russia and the Central Asian republics helps to create an interAsian energy path and the continued flow of energy to China may be blocked if the oversight of the high seas by the USled navy. The debate that has been going on for years over the development of a natural gas pipeline from Iran to Pakistan, India, and China is itself part of China apos;s strategic policy (Conway Nauman, 2011: 3).ConclusionMaintaining the hegemonic role of the United States in the unipolar world has been America apos;s most important strategic goal from postCold War to contemporary era. The creation of military bases and various investments in large oil and gas projects in various parts of the world, including the Eurasian region, are examples of this effort to shape the new American order. This policy was carried out rapidly by the US and NATO in the early years of the 21st century without any serious opposition from the other powers. Although Brzezinski claims that until the next generation, America apos;s standing as the world apos;s sole power cannot be challenged by any rival power, Russia, China, and Iran, as the three most powerful and beneficiary countries in the region, has been dissatisfied with the action from Washington and NATO and the relative progress they have made over the past two decades; and they are trying to counter US and NATO policies and in turn strengthening their influence and capability in this geopolitical area. Preventing US pressure to isolate Iran, Russia, and China, gain greater maneuverability internationally in partnership with independent or dissatisfied governments, preventing NATO apos;s influence and empowerment, investing in environmental and tourism issues, and participating in international gas and oil pipeline projects are among the most important collaborative efforts of the three countries against US hegemonic policies in Eurasia.
