Therefore, this analytical perspective seeks to introduce key elements of China’s strategy in the Middle East, particularly the means and mechanisms of its engagement and partnerships in the region.

The Ruling Taliban: Domestic Challenges and Geostrategic Goals
News from Afghanistan is at the forefront of international capitals' attention, with Taliban Movement taking control of Afghan geography, marking a turning point in the history of a country that is ever engaged in international tensions, once in the collapse of the Soviet Union and then in the war on terrorism. The following paper outlines the most important "domestic" challenges facing the Movement in establishing sustainable and stable political governance. It also reviews Taliban in the highly competitive geostrategic perspective between Washington on the one hand and Beijing and Moscow on the other.
