Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this security complex has tended to distance itself from a Russian-centered approach to foreign relations, has rejected involvement with a Turkey-oriented sphere of influence, and has shifted toward an Iran-oriented security complex. A major reason for these developments has been the activities of the three rival powers--Iran, Turkey, and Russia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Peimani explains, these states have strong long-term interests in the region; earlier rivalries, which were dormant under Soviet rule, have reawakened since the breakup of the USSR. While Russia attempts to reincorporate Central Asia into its security complex, Iran and Turkey seek to include it in their spheres of influence. The rivalry among these states will largely determine the future development of the region and the individual states.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hooman Peimani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275960218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275960216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.59h x 6.36w x 1.35d","brand":"Hooman Peimani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001116901631,"sku":"9780275960216","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0fea91de-2909-49f6-bf41-b9f4251bf183.jpg?v=1751600114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/regional-security-and-the-future-hooman-peimani-9780275960216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
