The Westernization Report 2024 by StrategEast provides an in-depth analysis of the major political and economic developments in the post-Soviet region during 2023. In light of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the report highlights the transformation of Eurasia into a social and economic battleground, with the US and EU aiming to counteract Russian and Chinese influence. It examines the strategic objectives of the West to shield countries from Moscow’s pressure, prevent Russia from evading sanctions, and details the implementation of secondary sanctions on specific Eurasian entities. The report also explores the rise of multilateral initiatives like the “C5+1” with the US and the “EU – Central Asia” summit, which seek to foster balanced development in the region amidst increasing economic ties with China.
