For more than three decades, the Soviet Union was a major force in
the Middle East, and superpower rivalry exacerbated many of the
conflicts endemic to the region. The end of the Cold War and the
collapse of the Soviet Union have fundamentally altered the rules
of the game in Middle East politics, producing a new fluidity in
the region, new diplomatic alignments, and new opportunities for
peace. The contributors place recent developments in historical and
political context, analyzing changes in Soviet Middle East policy
under Gorbachev as well as evaluating developments since the demise
of the Soviet Union. The evolution of Moscow's policy toward the
Arab states, Israel, the P.L.O., and the U.N. is given special
attention. The contributors also examine the emergence of Islamic
fundamentalism in the new states of Central Asia and weigh the
potential implications of this development for the Middle East. In
addition, they discuss security issues related to the transfer of
military technology from former Soviet republics to the countries
of the Middle East.
