This article adopts a spatial analysis to explore and contrast two significant macro-governance initiatives aimed at fostering Eurasian integration:the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI)launched by China and the Eurasian Economic Union(EAEU)led by Russia.Utilizing the"territory-locality-scale-network"four-dimensional framework from spatial sociology,it scrutinizes the variations and synergies across these dimensions between the two Eurasian spatial vision and connectivity governance plans.The recent policy-level"coordination"between these projects has highlighted the cognitive parallels and divergences in their spatial configurations,acting as natural experiments.This is evident in several aspects,including their naming conventions,their association with the Eurasian concept,the metaphors driving connectivity efforts,and how these projects are institutionalized and politically represented.Achieving"coordination"between these two spatial understandings necessitates a collaborative effort to bridge differences and leverage comparative strengths through division of labor and cooperation.
