This RAND research report, co-authored by CSS’ Brian G. Carlson, details the political, economic, and military interests and activities of China and Russia in the Middle East, and identifies where those efforts contest, intersect, or complement US interests and activities. The authors systematically identify the dimensions and locations in which strategic competition is occurring, where it is most likely to take place in the future, where and how it is most likely to threaten US interests and provide recommendations accordingly.
