Аннотация
В исследовании рассматривается, как растущая поляризация международной системы формирует конкуренцию великих держав на Ближнем Востоке. Зависимость т.н. клиентов от Вашингтона в вопросах внутренней и внешней безопасности позволяет США проводить наступательную стратегию доминирования, направленную на установление регионального порядка, соответствующего ключевой цели – сдерживанию Китая и России. В ответ Пекин и Москва используют особую форму противодействия, направленную на снижение восприятия угрозы клиентами и содействие разрешению конфликтов. Эта стратегия ориентирована на изменение асимметричной модели зависимости в альянсах США на Ближнем Востоке за счет повышения автономии клиентов и сотрудничества с Китаем и Россией там, где интересы совпадают. Саудовско-иранское сближение иллюстрирует потенциал такого «вклинивания», в то время как израильский пример демонстрирует его пределы. В целом эффективность стратегий Китая и России остается крайне ограниченной по сравнению с США из-за проекции военного потенциала США и зависимости региональных игроков.
