US-RUSSIA CONFLICT IN MIDDLE EAST

Abstract

The study concentrated on the key areas of Russian
influence which Russia sought to safeguard against
American hegemony and attempted to pinpoint the
areas in which the United States and Russia contended
in the Middle East and the Arab world. System
analysis in international relations was utilized in this
study since it is pertinent to the subject. The primary
subject the study seeks to address is, "What are the
internal and external variables that directly promote
Russia's increasing position in the global system?" The
study came to the conclusion that Russia was able to
retain its zones of influence without the help of
American hegemony because of its reforming efforts.
