This book sheds light on Russia' s motives in the Middle East, examining its growing role in the region and its efforts to defend its national interests. As one of the first volumes to address both domestic and external drivers, it provides a valuable multi-dimensional account of Moscow' s foreign policy. ' Russian Foreign Policy Towards the Middle East' also traces the historical evolution of Russia' s presence in the region, comparing Moscow' s current vision of its diplomatic priorities with the strategic goals of the Soviet Union. Diverse case studies reveal areas of both divergence and convergence between Russia and various Middle Eastern players on a range of issues, including the Syrian Civil War, Iran' s regional activities and the Yemeni conflict. In an era of renewed global tensions, this volume provides an important corrective to the notion that Russia' s Cold War-era confrontation with ' the West' determines its contemporary approach to the Middle East. No less important are economic interests and domestic security considerations, which push Moscow towards greater interaction with the region. Only by examining both new trends and old traditions can we understand Russia' s significance as a global player today.
' This engagingly written book focuses on the regional, international and domestic dimensions of Russia' s policy. The research is in-depth and illuminates the drivers and outcomes of Moscow' s strategies in the Middle East. Highly recommended for anyone studying international relations or the foreign policy positions of the Russian Federation. ' -- Irina Zvyagelskaya, Head of Center for Middle East Studies, IMEMO, Russian Academy of Sciences
