The Role of Russia, Iran and the US in a Global Crisis

By Ghaidaa Hetou

Summary

The Syrian Conflict by Ghaidaa Hetou explores the global repercussions of the Syrian war, focusing on the strategic roles of Russia, Iran, and the US. The book examines the origins of political upheaval in the Middle East and North Africa, analysing Russia and Iran's growing military, economic, and diplomatic influence in contrast to American defence and national interests.

It challenges conventional views by highlighting the consistent foreign-policy goals of non-democratic states like Russia, Iran, and China, examines the alignment of Syrian foreign policy with that of Russia and Iran, and reviews shifts in US policy in the region.

Supported by detailed fieldwork and archival research, this work offers crucial insights into global politics and modern history.

Description

This book explores the global impact of the Syrian conflict, and the roles of Russia, Iran and the US in its wake. It looks closely at the origins of political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by analysing the growing influence of Russia and Iran – militarily, economically and diplomatically – juxtaposed against US defence and national interests.

The Syrian Conflict:

challenges the conventional scholarship to show how non-democratic states such as Russia, Iran and China exhibit a consistent strategic intent in their foreign-policy-making;
underlines the convergence of Syrian foreign policy with Russia’s (the USSR before 1989) and Iran’s regional outlook post-1979;
takes stock of the shifts in the US foreign policy in MENA in light of new realities.

Drawing on detailed fieldwork and archival material, including National Security Archival documents, this book is a tour de force in understanding global politics and contemporary history. It will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of politics and international relations, political theory, foreign policy, Middle East studies, and peace and conflict studies.
