При этом большинство попыток выявления причин этого сближения, как правило, ограничиваются указанием на продолжающееся ухудшение отношений этих стран с Западом, прежде всего США. Однако такой подход представляется недостаточным, поскольку не позволяет в полной мере выявить детерминанты российско-китайского сближения и оценить устойчивость данной тенденции. В представленной статье на основе современных наработок в теории формирования стратегических межгосударственных союзов предпринята попытка дать комплексную оценку причин формирования и эволюции отношений Российской Федерации и КНР, связав их с общей логикой развития системы международных отношений в постбиполярный период. Для этого автор предлагает опереться на эпистемологический потенциал трех основных подходов к объяснению причин формирования стратегических союзов, представленных концепциями «баланса сил», «баланса угроз» и «баланса интересов». При этом предлагается проанализировать российско-китайское взаимодействие не только с точки зрения изменений внутри каждого из этих балансов по отдельности, но и с позиции их взаимного переплетения и взаимного влияния. Подобный подход позволил показать, что после окончания холодной войны динамика изменений в рамках всех трех балансов объективно способствует более тесному стратегическому сотрудничеству Китая и России, в основе которого лежит комплекс представлений о США как главном источнике угроз национальной безопасности двух стран и о многополярности как оптимальном принципе организации системы международных отношений. Проведенный анализ позволяет говорить о том, что как минимум в среднесрочной перспективе динамика и общее направление российско-китайских отношений в сторону укрепления двусторонней координации не только сохранятся, но и, с большой долей вероятности, получат новый импульс к оформлению в качестве полноценного союза.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, China-Russia relations have demonstrated a significant and consistent progress on a number of issues advancing to the strategic alliance. However, the existing explanations of such progress have rarely gone beyond simple recognition of the continuous deterioration of relations between these countries and the West, particularly the United States. However, such explanations seem insufficient since they do not reveal the key determinants of the Russian-Chinese alignment and cannot help assess the sustainability of this trend. In order to provide a comprehensive and methodologically consistent assessment of the main drivers of the China-Russia relations within the framework of the post-Cold War international system evolution, this paper draws on the latest findings in the theory of international alliances. To this end, the author harnesses the epistemological potential of the three main approaches to the root causes of interstate strategic alliances, namely the ‘balance of power’, the ‘balance of threat’ and the ‘balance of interests’. The paper examines the Russian-Chinese cooperation both within the framework of each of these three balances separately and in their interrelatedness and interdependence. The author shows that trend towards a closer strategic cooperation between China and Russia in the post-Cold War period stemmed from the inner dynamics of all of these balances. This strategic alignment is based on a complex of shared views on the United States as the main source of threats for national security and the commitment of both states to the idea of a multipolar world. The author concludes that not only will the trend towards strengthening Russian-Chinese cooperation continue, at least in the medium term, but it can receive a new impetus to evolve into a full-fledged alliance.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>российско-китайское стратегическое сотрудничество</kwd><kwd>Российская Федерация</kwd><kwd>КНР</kwd><kwd>Соединенные Штаты</kwd><kwd>стратегический союз</kwd><kwd>баланс сил</kwd><kwd>баланс угроз</kwd><kwd>баланс интересов</kwd><kwd>российско-американские отношения</kwd><kwd>китайско-американские отношения</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Russia-China strategic cooperation</kwd><kwd>the Russian Federation</kwd><kwd>the People’s Republic of China</kwd><kwd>the United States</kwd><kwd>strategic alliance</kwd><kwd>balance of power</kwd><kwd>balance of threat</kwd><kwd>balance of interests</kwd><kwd>US-Russia relations</kwd><kwd>US-China relations</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Истомин И.
