This paper constitutes an attempt to investigate China’s OBOR project and the prospects for greater Eurasian economic and political integration. It compares China’s development-oriented strategy in Europe with the security-driven strategy of the US and investigates how the two paradigms relate to present-day international relations, holding that China’s Eurasian program provides Europe with an alternative for the security-oriented Atlanticism. It argues that, by introducing an essential developmentalist agenda in the Eurasian economic and political context, the OBOR project promotes multipolarity, mutual trust, greater economic prosperity, easing of security concerns and a new developmentalist discourse, which may eventually lead to the weakening of Atlanticist alliance. However, it recognizes that, aside from the fact that the material and ideational fundamentals of Atlantic alliance remain strong, China’s Eurasian drive will likely encounter numerous challenges as the OBOR program expands.
