Struggle for Alliance: Russia and Iran in the Era of War in Ukraine: Middle East Institute Policy Series
Editat de Abdolrasool Divsallaren Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 sep 2024
Observăm o necesitate acută de actualizare a analizei geopolitice în contextul conflictului din Ucraina, iar volumul Struggle for Alliance, coordonat de Abdolrasool Divsallar, răspunde direct cerințelor academice și profesionale pentru înțelegerea noilor axe de putere. Publicată în seria Middle East Institute Policy Series, lucrarea este esențială pentru cercetătorii în științe politice și profesioniștii din diplomație care urmăresc reconfigurarea parteneriatelor în Eurasia și Orientul Mijlociu.
Descoperim aici o perspectivă care depășește clișeul „agendei anti-hegemonice”. Autorii propun o teză pragmatică: războiul din Ucraina a accelerat interdependența dintre Moscova și Teheran nu doar prin ideologie, ci prin beneficii de protecție reciprocă în fața sancțiunilor și izolării. Comparabil cu Power Couple de Ghoncheh Tazmini în rigurozitatea cu care tratează alinierea narativă a celor două state, acest volum este actualizat pentru transformările radicale survenite după februarie 2022, explorând cum Iranul a evoluat de la un partener secundar la un furnizor de soluții strategice pentru Kremlin.
Structura volumului este echilibrată, începând cu analiza dezbaterilor interne — unde notăm cu interes capitolele semnate de experți de la Harvard și Oxford despre „noul paradigm” al politicii externe ruse. A doua parte se concentrează pe constrângerile sistemice, abordând stabilitatea strategică și politicile nucleare. Spre deosebire de Russia–Iran Relations Since the End of the Cold War, care oferă o perspectivă istorică extinsă, lucrarea de față se concentrează pe dinamica imediată și pe modul în care interesele divergente sunt gestionate sub presiunea războiului, oferind un instrument de lucru indispensabil pentru înțelegerea viitorului securității regionale.

De ce să citești această carte
Recomandăm această carte specialiștilor în relații internaționale și studenților la studii de securitate. Struggle for Alliance oferă o radiografie la zi a axei Moscova-Teheran, explicând cum războiul din Ucraina a transformat o cooperare tactică într-o alianță strategică profundă. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere clară a modului în care politica internă a ambelor state influențează deciziile de politică externă și ce impact are acest parteneriat asupra stabilității în Orientul Mijlociu.
Descriere
The book analyzes various debates about the impact of the war on Russo-Iranian relations. From the perspective of the emerging literature on authoritarian regionalism, the book explores how domestic politics and common threat perceptions play a role in these states' decisions to adjust to the systemic changes caused by the war. Chapters address how changes in the strategic environment are affecting Moscow and Tehran's perception of each other, what factors contribute the most to both states' decision to pursue greater cooperation and how they manage the new conflicts of interest raised by the war. The book also queries whether relations continue to be based on tactical partnership, or whether a stronger alliance between Moscow and Tehran is unfolding, and what the consequences of such a struggle for alliance will be for the wider region.

Recenzii
This collective volumeprovides a comprehensive analysis of how Moscow and Tehran's perception of each other changed by the war in Ukraine. Through detailed examinations of current Russian and Iranian economic relations, cooperation in the military, energy and nuclear sectors as well as in-depth studies of historical and ideological discourses, the chapters shed light on the ongoing formation of a new authoritarian alliance between Russia and Iran. This book is essential reading for all those interested in contemporary Russia and Iran and the emerging landscape of world order caused by the war in Ukraine.
In this collection of analytically rich essays by some of the most prominent scholars and commentators, Divsallar has managed to produce one of the most informative and insightful volumes on how Russia's aggression against Ukraine has affected Russo-Iranian relations, and how the Islamic Republic has reacted to the challenges and opportunities presented by Russia's military (mis)adventure in Ukraine. Divsallar's hand as editor in framing the debate shines through the rich discussion in every chapter of this excellent volume. A real privilege to have been one of handful of people to have had the opportunity to read this volume before it went to press. This is a first class book on a complex and internationally-significant partnership.
One of the more complete accounts of an important and evolving relationship that is likely to affect the international order for some time to come . Struggle for Alliance is a comprehensive and important account of Iran-Russia relations. The authors deal with both sides of the ledger and offer an important guide to understanding a dangerous alliance whose full dimensions are still evolving.
