| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE EVENTS, known as the Arab Spring, which in 2011 shattered some of the Arab states of the Greater Middle East, have triggered military-political and military-strategic developments worldwide. Their whole gamut can hardly be grasped: what happened in individual countries and the region as a whole unfolded in different temporal scales and was planned and realized on different scenes: geopolitical, regional and local. To predict future developments in the Greater Middle East, one should look deep into what has already happened and what is going on in the region. The analytical report "The Middle East: Possible Variants of Transformation Processes"* (issued by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the Institute for Contemporary International Studies (Moscow State Institute (University) of International Relations, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation) can be described as one of the best and carefully substantiated attempts to look into the region's future and assess the results of the recent developments. |
