Summary

This collection of articles and essays centers around Vladimir Putin's Middle East foreign policy since 2001. Many of these pieces are written by officials who played a direct part in crafting Russian policy in this region: from Yevgeny Primakov, the first prime minister of the Putin era; to longtime Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, UN adviser Vladimir Orlov, and Energy Minister Aleksandr Novak. This collection also features independent research articles from reputable scholars. The content is divided into three thematic parts: (1) regional issues, including Islamist movements and natural resources; (2) military concerns, including strategies to combat terrorism; and (3)politics and governance, including reflections on the Arab Spring and the Middle East's role in a future world order.
