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.
