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 book offers insight into the motives behind Moscow's behaviour
in the Persian Gulf (with a specific focus on the GCC member states
and Iran), considering Russia's growing role in the Middle East and
its desire to protect national interests using a wide range of
means. The book explores the drivers and motivations of the Russian
foreign policy in the Gulf region, thus, helping the audience to
generate informed prognosis about Moscow's moves in this area over
the next years. In contrast to most studies of Russia's presence in
the region, this book considers the Russian involvement in the Gulf
from two standpoints - the Russian and foreign. The idea of the
book is to take several key problems of Moscow's presence in the
Gulf, each of these to be covered by two authors-Russian and
non-Russian scholars, in order to offer the readers alternative
visions of Moscow's policies towards Iran and the GCC countries

The book considers the impact of COVID-19 on the GCC member states
through the prism of challenges faced by their hydrocarbon sector.
Yet, the publication’s discourse is not solely focused on the
problems experienced by the oil and gas industries of the GCC
member states after the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Instead,
the contributors will analyze how these challenges and subsequent
response to them affected other aspects of the GCC socio-economic
and political development, from direct impact of the COVID on the
energy sector of the GCC to socio-economic consequences of the oil
market crisis for the region and its potential fallouts for the
international relations of the Gulf.Â
