This book grew out of the four articles which were previously published by the Foundation for Middle East and Balkan Studies (OBIV).The titles of the articles were changed, the issues analyzed in the articles were revised and recent developments related to each topic were added.The modified versions of the articles were compiled so as to highlight the reasons for the limits of the relations of three neighbouring countries,(Iran, Syria and Turkey), with the West in the new world order.The changing nature of the relations between the United States and theEuropean Union is also a focus of this book.
