For decades, Russia considered its southern flank as its most volatile security zone. Essentially, the Caucasus is notorious for its high conflict potential and is very susceptive to external influences. Over the recent years, transformations in the Middle East - including the Arab spring, the war in Syria, and the rise of ISIS - have had a palpable impact on Russia's ""soft underbelly"". The crisis in Ukraine also served as a critical calculation in Russian decision-making in the Caucasus and the Middle East, and will mostly likely challenge Moscow's policy in both regions in many - often unexpected - ways. Essays on Russian Foreign Policy in the Caucasus and the Middle East is a comprehensive account to read to understand these trends. Based on professional expertise and personal experiences from an author uniquely positioned to trace the dynamics in both regions, it reveals the rational behind many of Russia's moves while critically assessing their potential implications in the long run.

چکیده فارسی

برای چندین دهه، روسیه جناح جنوبی خود را به عنوان ناآرام ترین منطقه امنیتی خود در نظر می گرفت. اساساً، قفقاز به دلیل پتانسیل بالای درگیری خود بدنام است و به تأثیرات خارجی بسیار حساس است. طی سال‌های اخیر، دگرگونی‌ها در خاورمیانه - از جمله بهار عربی، جنگ در سوریه و ظهور داعش - تأثیر محسوسی بر "زیست شکم نرم" روسیه داشته است. بحران اوکراین همچنین به عنوان یک محاسبات مهم در تصمیم گیری روسیه در قفقاز و خاورمیانه عمل کرد و به احتمال زیاد سیاست مسکو در هر دو منطقه را به طرق مختلف - اغلب غیرمنتظره - به چالش خواهد کشید. مقالاتی در مورد سیاست خارجی روسیه در قفقاز و خاورمیانه گزارش جامعی است که برای درک این روندها باید بخوانید. بر اساس تخصص حرفه‌ای و تجربیات شخصی نویسنده‌ای که به طور منحصربه‌فردی برای ردیابی پویایی‌ها در هر دو منطقه قرار دارد، منطقی است که در پس بسیاری از اقدامات روسیه وجود دارد و در عین حال پیامدهای بالقوه آنها را در بلندمدت ارزیابی می‌کند.
