the security of south- west asia in geopolitics of the twenty first century

abstract west asia is a critical geopolitical region of eurasia. this region is a geographical center of crisis in all aspects. it is also an artificial term invented by the united states instead of the greater middle east. this geographical concept coves two regions stretching from the persian gulf to the caspian/ central asia. this region is recognized as the arab middle east, too. in the persian gulf, the extensive and complicated issues between iranians and arabs are not derived from the period of the presence of britain, france and germany. in recent years, arabs and iranians still see that a dense propaganda in their region has been steadily growing hostility against each other and it could be ended to a result to leave for dominating trans-regional powers on regional affairs by ignoring regional self-confidence and respect. this paper tries to answer the following question: have the trans-regional powers worked for resolving disputes in the regional countries which help to create peace and cooperation; or have they worked for instigating political and territorial disputes considering that it will ensure continuation of their domination on military affairs, selling of weaponry and political intervention.
