dc.description.abstractThe ongoing rivalry among major powers in Central Asia is driven by the region's strategic importance and abundant natural resources. Recent tensions between Russia and the West over trade tariffs have led to the emergence of a new arena for economic and political struggle in the region. The present study examines the dynamics of this competition, which is referred to as The New Great Game' and analyses the impact of trade policies on regional alliances and economic dependency relationships. The imposition of protectionist tariffs by Russia, implemented through the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the adoption offree trade and investment strategies by the West, targeting the region, are among the primary strategies that are deepening this competition. This article examines how Central Asian countries navigate great power competition through balancing strategies and explores the potential impact of global trade wars on regional economies. It argues that this contest will significantly shape the region's geopolitical future beyond trade tariffs. © 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
