Abstract
This research analyzes the role of the three emerging soft powers China, India and Russia in the security of the Middle East. Indeed, China is a rising revisionist world power and the second largest economy after the United States. Likewise, Russia has revived its global role as a major power since the 2000s. Also, India is widely regarded as a "rising power". India is now projected to become the third largest economy in the world by 2030. In fact, since Obama issued the Asia-Pivot Strategy in 2012, the Middle East has been concerned about the US commitment to the security of the Persian Gulf. They see emerging powers, especially China and India, as substitutes for the US security role. . 1
This research also examines the clash of strategies of emerging powers. It explains how the strategy shift of rising powers towards the region for energy or geopolitical considerations has affected their potential security role in the Middle East. This research examines the main interests of emerging soft powers in the Middle East: energy, trade and investment relations.
The main argument of this research is that the emerging powers do not develop a coherent strategy for the security of the region, but have short-term policies or approaches, not concrete strategies. The second argument is that emerging powers do not want to provide security in the Middle East region.
