The inception of this volume was the “New perspectives on Sino-Russian relations” conference organized at the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies (IFS) in Oslo in September 2014, in the aftermath of the Ukraine crisis. The analyses presented in this volume have since evolved in tandem with developments in Sino-Russian relations over the last few years. We want to express our sincere thanks to the participants at the conference, the contributors in the book, and the anonymous reviewers for their comments that have helped us sharpen our arguments along the way to preparing the final manuscript. The original conference and this book would not have been possible without generous financial support from the Norwegian Research Council through its NORUSS research programme on The High North/Arctic and Russia, and the support of the Fridtjof Nansen Institute as well as the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies.
