Reviews

This is a timely book on a subject of growing interest for academics and policymakers. The nexus between Iran and Russia has played an important role in conflicts in Syria and Ukraine and more broadly the emergence of a Eurasion corridor. Yet the nature of this alliance remains opaque. The essays in this book provide deep insight into how this alliance is viewed in Moscow and Tehran, what accounts for its rise and whether it will prove resilient. * Vali Nasr, Professor, Johns Hopkins University, USA *
