Russia–Iran Relations Since the End of the Cold War

This book presents a comprehensive, systematic analysis of Russia-Iran relations in the period following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. It discusses the key areas where co-operation, or the lack of it, are possible; charts different phases of increasing and declining co-operation; and relates these changes to domestic factors in both countries. Throughout, the book argues that the potential for co-operation between the two countries is much greater than people realise, and it concludes by assessing how Russia-Iran relations are likely to develop in future.
