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. Nikolay Kozhanov is a Research Associate Professor at the Gulf Studies Center of Qatar University. He is also is also a Consulting Fellow at the Russia and Eurasia Programme of Chatham House where he leads a project on Russia’s policy in the Middle East. Nikolay’s research focuses on the geopolitics of Gulf energy, Russian foreign policy in the Middle East as well as Iran’s economy and international relations.PPN: PPN: 1756956030Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-ECF | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEF
