| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE IMPORTANCE of what is happening in the Middle East, and especially in Iraq, has long transcended the regional boundaries. The situation in Iraq is making a significant impact on the overall international situation and on the positions of many countries, including the most influential ones. Iraq stays in the focus of international politics, and the Iraq issue contributes to the alignment of political forces in many countries.
Whereas the Middle East with its oil and gas wealth can be quite justifiably called the "fuel and energy solar plexus" of modern world, Iraq is its most important component part, which largely determines the normal functioning of this region's oil and gas complex. |
